SUNDAY MORNINGS
Hope Group is small group Bible study that allows students to learn what God’s word says about very specific life situations that most teens experience. Classes are separated by grade and gender to best nurture discussions specific to students.
All Hope Groups begin as a large group in the Family Life Center (FLC), then breakout into smaller groups.

Students Starting Point, 11:00 A.M.
After students come to faith in Christ, many wonder “what now?” Starting Point will walk students, new believers or new attenders, through what a growing disciple looks like in Student Ministry and beyond. Students will walk away from this class knowing what their next step is and will find the support they need to take it.
Students Starting Point is offered on select Sundays throughout the year. To find out when the next class is, visit our Events page.
WEDNESDAY EVENINGS
New Hope Students Midweek, 6:15 P.M.
Student-led, high-energy worship and Bible study that confronts real-life questions and situations. Prepare to be challenged to live your life and make decisions that are obedient to God’s word. Meets in Family Life Center (FLC). Come early for open gym and chill time before we start.
Summer Tribal Nights, 6:00 P.M.
Summers at New Hope bring extra time to hang with friends combined with extra fun! Summer also brings something we like to call Tribal Nights. Tribal Nights is a summer-long competition in the student ministry. Students are divided into 3-4 tribes, and earn points for their tribe each time they bring a friend, bring their Bible, participate/win in games and challenges. At the end of summer, the team with the most points gets a grand prize (usually a free trip to Six Flags!).
Tribal Nights aren’t just about competition and fun theme nights. It’s a time to slow down the pace, build friendships through fun, and hear a powerful message that challenges students in their walk with Jesus. Incoming 6th graders are invited to join us during the summer and start to find a place to belong in our student ministry.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Disciple Now (D-Now) Weekend
This overnight retreat allows students to break for the weekend to experience deeper Bible study, worship, a guest speaker, special activities, and home group leaders who know how to teach and have fun at the same time.
Camp
Students learn about the relevance of God’s word in their lives, and strengthen community with each other through many activities at camp.
Missions
Serving Our Community
New Hope Students serve their community through outreach events like VBS and Epic Sports Camp, as well as through organized service days like Serve Saturday. In these local mission efforts, students experience how serving like Jesus impacts others and draws people to His love.
Serving Our Region
Students serve our region and state through our middle school mission trip. This mission trip experience helps middle schoolers begin to serve others in bigger ways, moving them out of the comforts of their home town. Students receive training on how to share their testimony in a simple and easy way to connect with others.
Serving Our Nation
Through our high school mission trip, Students will travel across the U.S. to serve and share the Gospel with others. This mission experience helps high school students grow in their faith and trust as they are called to serve in ways they are not used to. Students will find that as they deploy for Christ in unfamiliar places, God doesn’t just use their efforts to expand His kingdom; He also grows them closer to Himself.
Student Leaders
Student Leadership is our most intentional discipleship program for students, and we aim for each student to go through this training and service program by the time they graduate. In this program, students Develop a deeper understanding of the Gospel and spiritual habits, and what discovering Christ leads to. Students then deploy to serve the student ministry by forming a transformative environment, and serve others by living missionally both inside and outside of the church. Student Leadership is the most holistic approach in student ministry for students to be able to devote the highest level of commitment and priority to their growth.
