Christ followers.
We offer several programs targeted
at meeting the needs of those in

Counseling
At times, life can be stressful,
knocking you down to your knees. It�s at
these times we can run and hide or we
can turn to someone who will listen and
help us sort through things.
Real Hope�s Counseling Ministry provides
listening ears for people who are
hurting. And there is never a cost to
you to see a lay counselor. (We do refer
people in need to several professional
counseling services in the area) All
counseling is biblically based,
prayer-centered, Christ-focused, and
compassionate. Whatever your age
(children, adolescence, parents, adults,
couples, older people) there is always
help available. And you don't even have
to be part of Real Hope Community Church
to access counseling. To schedule a
pre-counseling appointment, contact the
church office at 920.648.3500.

Serving Hands
When life is turned upside
down by illness or injury,
Real Hope�s meal ministry
helps bring a little
normalcy back by helping
provide meals for families.
Serving Hands provides meals
for families experiencing a
new baby, illness, death, or
hospital stay. The goal is
to serve families whose
basic needs are not able to
be met. This ministry can be
encouraging and fill a great
need. If you would like to
make a meal please contact
the
ministry director
or if you know someone in
need of meal please
contact the
church office.

Child Dedication
What are Child Dedications? A commitment between God
and parents on behalf of their children
They are celebrations we have at Real
Hope Community Church providing parents
with the opportunity to honor God and
help their children in two ways:
1. By publicly inviting God to involve
Himself in the lives of their children.
As children come to God as He really is,
they are better able to understand just
how much He really loves them.
2. By making a public commitment to
raise their children to know and love
Jesus and do so with the support and
encouragement of Real Hope Community
Church.
By making this commitment, parents are
stating their intentions to teach and
model what a loving relationship with
Jesus looks like.
What takes place at a Child Dedication?
Child Dedications are scheduled several
times a year during our weekend
services. They are led by our pastoral
staff and include Bible reading,
parental vows to God and a prayer of
dedication over each child.
What if I have more questions?
Attend the parent meeting prior to the
dedication service. Feel free to contact
the church office 648-3500 if you have
additional questions.
