Hope Church’s Youth Ministry is a place where students in grades 7 - 12 can become passionate followers of Jesus and grow a lifelong faith.

 

  • Students meet every Sunday morning from 9:15-10:10 am for Sunday School in the basement of Mellis Chapel. Our Sunday Morning education hour is designed to train students in biblical literacy and the practices of bible reading, study, and application.

    Spring 2024: We are continuing a series on understanding the Christian Faith through the Christian Narrative. Knowing the Christian Narrative—or story—helps us know the kind of Characters we play in the story. Join us as we begin the second part of the story with the New Testament. We’ll talk about the significance of the incarnation, the life and death of Jesus, and the culture of the Early Church.

  • Students meet in the basement of Mellis Chapel every Wednesday evening from 6:30pm to 8:00pm for games, snacks, worship, and teaching. Our Wednesday night youth meetings are designed to give students a safe, fun, and engaging opportunity to build relationships with Christian peers and leaders, to grow in understanding of Scripture, and develop the practices of prayer and worship. We strive to create an environment uniquely crafted to encourage students in faithful living through genuine community, loving hospitality, biblical teaching, and intentional worship.

    Our Wednesday night planning is governed by our philosophy of discipleship: that we grow as persons and as followers of Jesus through four meaningful relationships. Each of these relationships is an emphasis for a quarter of our calendar, organizing our twelve monthly studies.
