1 MEMBERS ARE MINISTERS

2 ABOUT THIS GUIDE In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul explains God s blueprint for church ministry. He says that God has given some gifted leaders in the church to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:12). Hope Chapel draws our deep conviction that Members are Ministers that each member of our church family is a minister from this Scripture and others like it. Our heart for our church is that it would be like a busy anthill of ministry activity, where everybody is working together towards a common spiritual objective. This small guide is meant to provide a comprehensive list of various ministries in our church body all the ministries whose central objective is to build up our church family to unity in heart and maturity in faith. Here you will find many different ministries to participate in. Some are led by pastors, some are led by elders, some are led by members. Regardless, we believe that each ministry in these pages represents a vital contribution to the overall health and functioning of our church body. So, we hope and pray that this small guide will help you find where you fit in our family, this family called Hope Chapel.

3 HOPE CHAPEL MINISTRY INSTITUTE (HCMI) Hope Chapel Ministry Institute exists to equip believers and develop them into bold disciples of the Triune God of the universe. We believe the process of theological training and equipping of believers is for everyone. By developing disciples who delight in God s Word we know God is glorified and His truth is preserved for the next generation. We offer a variety of classes throughout the year. We have designated eight classes as core classes which make up our Certificate of Biblical Studies. These classes teach concepts that are fundamental to effective Christian life and ministry. DISCOVERING HOPE HOPE CHAPEL Whether you are new to Hope or have been attending for years, you won t want to miss The Best Class at Hope Chapel! With honesty and sincerity, Senior Pastor Zac Nazarian shares his personal testimony and the events that led him to Hope Chapel and ultimately, into a true saving faith in Jesus Christ. Developed by Pastor Zac, the curriculum for Discovering Hope guides students through the Biblical books of Genesis, Romans, and John to study creation, sin, salvation, and much more. GENESIS (CORE CLASS) HOPE CHAPEL Genesis is the bedrock of our Christianity. It takes us from creation to man s tragic fall into sin and death, and reveals God s gracious unfolding plan of redemption through His covenant with Abraham and his descendents. Make your foundation sure by studying the book of beginnings. GOD CENTERED LIVING (CORE CLASS) HOPE CHAPEL This course works through five foundational topics for defining a life of Biblical, God-Centered, Spirit-empowered ministry. Students examine: how the pursuit of eternal pleasures in God Himself is a necessary part of all worship and virtue; how saving faith in ever-arriving future grace is also sanctifying faith; how to count all suffering joy; how men and women with equally valuable roles should complement one another in their new life and service of the body of Christ; And how God s purpose in the world is to win worshippers for Himself from every tribe, tongue, people and nation. GOSPEL OF JOHN (CORE CLASS) HOPE CHAPEL The Apostle John wrote his Gospel that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (John 20:31) As you study John your faith will be strengthened as you witness Jesus miracles, hear Him proclaim His I am statements, see His crucifixion and death and finally prove His divinity by His resurrection. HOW TO SHARE YOUR FAITH (CORE CLASS) HOPE CHAPEL You will learn how to have a simple 5 minute conversation that will leave people concerned about their eternal destiny using an almost forgotten Biblical key that has the power to unlock the door of the human heart. This class is interactive, exciting, and has the potential to change your life forever by giving you a new zeal for God like you ve never experienced before.

4 HOPE CHAPEL MINISTRY INSTITUTE (HCMI) (Cont.) MINING GOD S WORD (CORE CLASS) HOPE CHAPEL In this course students are introduced to inductive Bible study through the steps of observation, interpretation and application. The principles in these steps are applied in weekly assignments to passages in both the Old and New Testaments. The goal of the course is to enable students to make inductive Bible Study a habit so that they may daily experience the joy of discovering the truths of God s Word. ROMANS (CORE CLASS) HOPE CHAPEL R. C. Sproul calls Paul s letter to the Romans, The operation manual for our beliefs and a systematic theology of our salvation. Romans has had a monumental impact on many of the great fathers in the faith from Augustine and Luther to Charles Spurgeon. Study Romans and experience what Paul proclaimed the gospel to be, The power of God for salvation. (Romans 1:16) THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS 1 (CORE CLASS) HOPE CHAPEL This course is an attempt to systematically present what the Apostle Paul called the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27). A strong emphasis is placed on learning what the Bible says as a whole about major doctrines in hopes that we might establish ourselves, families and church in the sound doctrine of the faith. This course is the first of two trimesters and can be taken in any order. THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS 2 (CORE CLASS) HOPE CHAPEL This course is an attempt to systematically present what the Apostle Paul called the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27). A strong emphasis is placed on learning what the Bible says as a whole about major doctrines in hopes that we might establish ourselves, families and church in the sound doctrine of the faith. This course is the second of two trimesters and can be taken in any order. ELECTIVES HCMI also offers a wide range of elective courses. Though some have been offered only once, many of the electives are repeated. The elective classes focus on creation, giving, books of the Bible, America s Christian heritage, guitar lessons and much more.
