Life together
Study, serve, and keep the coffee on.
A small congregation still has a full week: Sunday worship, Coffee and Questions for every age, weekday study, choir, OASIS on Thursdays, and a table for the town.
OASIS
A free after-school hangout for Linden Middle School
Thursdays, 2:45–5:00 PM · October 1, 2026 – May 13, 2027
Lower level · 7355 Silver Lake Road
OASIS is Hope’s free after-school hangout for Linden Middle School students. Adult members of Hope supervise; Linden High School students often join to mentor. Students walk over with an adult from the program right after school. If the weather requires it, Linden Transportation will bring OASIS students to the church.
