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 takes place the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month during the school year, starting each evening at 7 pm.
Pizza and Jesus is pretty much just what it sounds like–young people grades 7 through 12 get pizza to eat, a Bible to read, and some games to play. We talk about faith and hang out together for about an hour, and end with prayer.
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!
