At Living Hope Church, our Youth Ministry exists to partner with parents in helping teenagers build a faith that lasts. We believe students don’t just need a place to attend; they need a place to belong, be known, and grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Living Hope Youth is designed specifically for middle school and high school students, creating an environment that is safe, welcoming, engaging, and centered on Jesus.
Living Hope Youth meets on Wednesday nights for 75 minutes. Youth services are designed to be engaging, welcoming, and meaningful for students at every stage of their faith journey.

Each week, we intentionally slow things down to help students connect with Jesus and center their hearts on what truly matters.
This time invites them to pause from the busyness of life and focus on the God who is present and faithful.
Every message is rooted in God’s Word and presented in a way students can understand and apply.
Students learn who God is, who they are in Him, what following Jesus looks like, and how they can live on mission and make a difference.
Fam Time is a dedicated part of our evening where every student is placed in a small group with peers their own age and trusted adult leaders who are committed to investing in the next generation.
This time is intentionally designed to provide a safe and welcoming environment where students can build relationships, engage in honest conversations, and grow in their faith. Groups are formed by grade and gender to encourage meaningful connection and appropriate age discussion.
Supporting families matters deeply to us. We love walking alongside parents and providing encouragement along the way. Explore our Parent Resource page for helpful tools, teaching, and trusted resources to support you as you navigate parenting and faith together.
We value partnering with you as parents and walking alongside your family. Our heart is to keep you informed about everything happening in Living Hope Youth from upcoming events to meaningful opportunities for your student to grow, belong, and take their next step in faith.
