     We are located in the NW corner of the Mission Trace Shopping Center at 120th & Colorado in Thornton. We are several stores North of King Soopers, and directly between ACE Hardware & the Liquor Store.  The physical address is 3853 E. 120th Ave., Thornton, CO. 80233.

     We are located directly in the NW corner of the Mission Trace Shopping Center.  You may park anywhere in the parking lots out front.  The front entrance to the church looks small but it is actually a very large space inside, as it Y's out as you get to the end of the hallway.  You may also park around the back side of the shopping center & go in the double doors off the wooden deck back there, as it is actually a closer walk to the Worship Center from there. 
     Both of our identical 9:30 am & 11:00 am Sunday Experiences are uplifting, straight out of the Bible messages, that apply to your life each day, all in a casual blue jeans coffee & donuts atmosphere, with a band that rocks.  We laugh, we cry, we have fun together!  Our Experiences are awesome, with good music, food, video & graphics, & down to earth messages that help us in life.  We also have some areas in our Worship Center with round tables & some areas with just chairs, to suit your preference.  We have people from every walk of life & background.  And as a guest, we don't ask for your money, just come & enjoy!  And bring your kids!  We have great nursery, children, & student groups they will love!  We can't wait to meet you!

     We are very casual.  Most everyone wears blue jeans or even shorts, including our Pastor.  We want you to dress comfortable like you normally would on the weekends.  Because God does not judge our clothing, neither do we.  God looks at our hearts.  And none of us are perfect, come just as you are - that's where God starts with all of us! 
     We have nursery & children's classes up to 5th grade during both 9:30 & 11:00am Sunday Experiences.  Jr. & Sr. High meet as listed below, but love our adult Experiences too.  As you come in the front, walk down the hall & the Children's check-in table will help you get each of your kids to the right place below.

  • 0-1 yr old - Nursery
  • 1-3 yrs old - (or until potty-trained) - Toddler
  • 3-4 yrs old - Pre-School
  • 4-5 yrs old - Kindergarten

     Our Pastor is Jeff Aenk.  He's 35 years old & married, with 4 young children.  He is a fun, energetic, down-to-earth, average guy that everybody loves.  He loves people, climbing mountains, hot-rods, movies, speed (the car kind), comedy, power-tools, wood-working, hanging out with friends, riding bikes with his kids, & kissing his wife Julie.  He never looks down on anyone & makes every person feel welcome & loved.  His messages grip our hearts as he is so transparent with us & speaks the language we speak every day in a way we understand.  His stories make us laugh & cry.  He makes church a lot of fun for everyone!  Come see for yourself this Sunday, he would love to meet you personally!

      Jeff's messages really hit home every Sunday.  Sometimes we laugh so hard we cry with some of the stuff he says and stories he tells.  He talks in the same language we use every day.  Each week, his stories move us.  He is so open & transparent about himself & his flaws that we can relate with him.  He makes God's Word make sense and shows us how to apply it to our lives in pracitical ways and it really helps us.  We always leave thinking about our lives & our next step with God.  You really need to just come hear how God speaks through him this Sunday - you will never regret it! You can click on the link below to view this year's messages or go to our Messages page to access our video's and the notes for each message.

     In the near future there will be a link here that will allow you to sample our music on Sunday mornings. Our band rocks! They sing contemporary songs with a serious beat, and occasionally make a modern rendition of a hymn that will rock your socks off. We have some great vocalists, drummers, guitar players, keyboard players, & sound, light, & video people. Our worship is passionate & it really connects us with God each week. You'll get a small taste of our worship if you click the button on the left side of our front page that says "Watch Invite Video." You can also click the button right below it that says "MySpace" & you can see a lot more pics of our live worship. You really need to just come this Sunday & experience it for yourself.
     What is happening at New Hope is nothing short of a massive move of God! We encourage you to partner with us in God's movement. To partner with us, sign up for the Life Journey Classes. , & in the second class - Class 201 we will walk through with you in detail what exactly "partnership" with New Hope means, what we are about, & where we are going. There you will be given a formal opportunity to make a commitment to partner with us.
     The Bible tells us that people who want to follow Jesus should be baptized into Him, similar to a wedding day.  On the day of your Baptism, you stand before others & proudly commit the rest of your life to Jesus Christ & walking a lifelong relationship with Him.  The Bible says in Romans 6, that we are "united" with Christ Jesus through baptism in the likeness of his death on the cross, burial in the tomb, & resurrection from the dead.  As you stand in the water, you are symbolically dieing with Christ to your old self that lived to do what you want, when you want, how you want.  As you are buried under the water, you are symbolically buring that old self forever.  As you come up out of the water, you are symbolically rising to a new life with Christ.  You now live to follow Christ, instead of yourself!  Jesus gives you new life on earth & life eternally in heaven when you follow Him!  If you want to learn more about baptism or be baptized, then sign up for Life Journey 101, there we will walk you through what it means to follow Jesus, & baptism in detail.  There you will have an opportunity to make a commitment & sign up to be baptized.  Click here to View a Baptism.
