Youth Ministry
The New Hope Youth strive to embody an identity rooted in God's love. We will nurture our faith, ourselves and others and we commit to serving our community and world by sharing God's love and grace with all of God's creation.
So God created HUMANKIND in God's image. In the IMAGE OF GOD, God created them. (Genesis 1:27, NRSV)
In your life, you will never look into the eyes of anyone who was not made in the image of God.
All youth are welcome here because we believe there are no outsiders to God's love.
Youth Ministry Meeting Times
Sunday School: In-Person, in the Youth Room, 9:30am - 10:30am
Sunday School at New Hope is an hour of directed Bible study. Currently, all grades (6-12) meet in our youth room. Our Sunday School is led by a group of faithful adult volunteers who love getting to share, work through, and discuss God's word with youth. Sunday School is a safe space where students are encouraged to ask questions which pertain to their faith, to form and grow their own understandings through guided discussion.
Sunday Night Bible Study: In-Person, in the Youth Room, 5:00pm - 7:00pm
Sunday Night Youth is a time of games, fellowship, dinner, and bible study. We often begin our time in the gym and move over to the youth room for a dinner provided by volunteers. Our bible study time covers a wide variety of subjects and includes time for meaningful discussion and questions. It is our desire to provide fresh and diverse interpretations of scripture that allow our youth to grow in their understanding and find meaning in its application.
Wednesday Nights: Gathering Area/Youth Room, 6:00pm-7:30pm
Wednesday nights will resume after summer break in September. Wednesday nights are designed to be an immersive and interactive check-in point for our youth in the middle of their weeks. This is a safe space where students can decompress, have some fun, be fed, and engage in a more intimate faith environment. Dinner begins in the Gathering Area as early as 5:30, but youth are encouraged to gather at 6. Our lesson time will begin at 6:30 in the youth room.
