How can the young keep their way clean? By guarding it according to God’s Word.
Psalm 119.9
At Good Hope, nothing we do matters more than the Christian upbringing of the children God has given us.
It is important first of all that we as adults set the example ourselves—by weekly worship and daily Bible study, with gentle speech and generous actions, and with lives that are intentionally being molded by Jesus Christ. Then we also attempt to plan events with and for the young people, some of which are described below.
Sunday Morning Bible Study
Bible studies are held each and every Sunday morning, starting at 9 am for God's children of all ages.
The youth of the congregation meet in their own Youth Room, in our newly remodeled basement. Classes are lighthearted, but seek to combine a growing knowledge of the Bible with the issues students regularly face at school and in the wider world.
Pizza and Jesus
“Pizza and Jesus” is exactly what it sounds like—an opportunity for students grades 6 – 12 to eat free pizza, and learn more about Jesus.
Teen Breakfast
Teen Breakfast is a very popular youth ministry of the church, which has been offered every year for over a decade. Thursday mornings during the school year, students grades 7 through 12 come to our Fellowship Hall for a free breakfast. As the meal is winding down, the Bible study begins--a brief look at Scripture, and how it might apply to the school day ahead.
All young people are welcome!
In the event of an Arlington school delay or cancellation, Teen Breakfast is cancelled for that day.
5th quarter
5th Quarter returns this September, following Arlington High School home football games.
5th Quarter takes place in the fellowship hall at Good Hope, and begins immediately after the game ends. 5th Quarter continues till 10:30, and is free to all Arlington students, grades 5 through 8.
We provide a safe, supervised environment with games and food. 5th Quarter always includes a brief time of devotion, which we call Stop, Listen, and Pray.
