Youth

A place for students to be known, grow in faith, and follow Jesus together.

Hope Youth exists to help students follow Jesus in real life within a community that knows and cares for them. We believe students grow best when they’re not pressured to perform, but invited to be honest, ask questions, and walk with others. Our aim is to create a space where students feel known, encouraged, and shaped by the gospel as they navigate everyday life.

Regular Rhythms

Wednesday Nights

Wednesday nights are the heartbeat of Hope Youth. Each week, students and leaders gather for fun, Scripture-centered teaching, and honest conversations about faith and life. It’s a consistent space to build friendships, open God’s Word, and grow together.

Trips & Retreats

Throughout the year, students step away from the everyday through trips and retreats that create shared experiences and deeper relationships. From fall retreats to conferences and summer trips, these moments often spark growth that lasts long after the event ends.

Sunday Mornings

Youth can join us during 1st service (8:30–9:45am) in the Hope West building, by the front desk. We’ll play games, read the Bible, and discuss Scripture together. Afterward, youth will be walked over to Hope East where you can pick them up in the Community Room after service.

Life Together

At the core of Hope Youth are relationships. Our trusted volunteers show up consistently, listen well, and walk with students through both joys and challenges. We believe following Jesus is learned best through shared life, and relationships are the foundation of everything we do.

We’re always looking for caring adults who want to invest in the next generation and help create a welcoming, Christ-centered space for students. Because relationships are central to Hope Youth, we ask volunteers to commit consistently on Wednesday nights.
