Youth Ministry
We exist to teach students to love God, love others, love each other, and reach those who don't yet know God's love.
Built up together in faith
In Hope Fellowship Student Ministries, we strive to live the life described in Jude 20–21 — building each other up in our most holy faith, praying in the power of the Holy Spirit, and awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who brings eternal life. We know that by doing this, we keep each other safe in God's love.
Hope Student Ministries is made up of Devoted, our high school program, and Undignified, our middle school program — two places where students are known, grow in faith, and learn to live it out boldly.
Find your place
Two ministries, one family — meeting students wherever they are.
Devoted — High School Ministry
Our high school program, modeled on the early church in Acts: devoted to God, devoted to working for His Kingdom, and devoted to each other. (Acts 2:42; Romans 12:10)
Undignified — Middle School Ministry
Our middle school program. At Undignified we embrace humility, serve others, and grow in faith together — fearless in our dedication to God and living out our faith boldly and "undignified" for the Lord. (Matthew 20:27–28; 1 Timothy 4:12)
