How long is the service?
Our Sunday service lasts about 90 minutes.
During that time, you can expect a meaningful flow of worship, prayer, teaching, and community moments. We take time to worship God together, hear a practical and encouraging message from the Bible, and create space for the Holy Spirit to move.
The atmosphere is relaxed but intentional — long enough to encounter God deeply, yet short enough to fit easily into your Sunday rhythm. After the service, you’re welcome to stay for coffee, conversation, and connection.
Is the morning service really bilingual?
Yes. Worship, preaching, and announcements are accessible in both English and Finnish.
Is the evening service only in English?
Yes. The evening service is fully English-speaking.
Do you have something for children?
Yes! NewHope Kids takes place during our morning service, where children can learn about God in a safe, fun, and engaging environment.
We offer Sunday School and Bible Club for different age groups, so children can grow in their understanding of the Bible at a level that is appropriate for them. Through Bible stories, worship, activities, and prayer, our goal is to help children discover God’s love and build a strong foundation of faith.
Our caring team is committed to creating a welcoming and joyful space where kids feel loved, valued, and excited to learn about Jesus.
Can I attend if I’m not a Christian?
Absolutely. You are very welcome at NewHope Church. Whether you are exploring faith, asking questions about Christianity, or simply curious about church, you are invited to come just as you are.
