Local Church Missions
We believe in supporting and encouraging our local church body here at Hope. We want to encourage our youth to grow deeper in their faith, encourage our graduates to go to Bible school and support anyone in our congregation that decides to go to into seminary to be a pastor. See below for more information on our local Hope Missions.
FLY YOUTH CONVENTION
The FLY Convention® is the biennial national youth gathering of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations. The purpose of the FLY Convention® is to provide youth with a tool for winning the lost, building them as a believer, and encourage disciple-making.
AFLBS SCHOLARSHIPS
AFLBS (Association of Free Lutheran Bible School) is the AFLC’s two-year college level program. Students receive in-depth instruction in books of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, along with studies in doctrine and theology. Students also learn about church history, missions, evangelism and discipleship, and several practical ministry studies.
At AFLBS, they educate students in the Bible so they can grow in their relationship with God, make lifelong Christian friends, and serve God with their lives.
They believe and teach the Bible as the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God, which is powerful to transform lives by the power of the Gospel. This Word of God provides a firm foundation for our lives as believers and practical applications for every part of life.
AFLTS SUPPORT
The Association Free Lutheran Theological Seminary is a graduate school of theology with a focus on training future pastors and Christian leaders. AFLTS trains men who perceive God’s call to service in a local congregation, the mission field, or other areas of pastoral ministry.
