Upcoming Events and Programs:
July 12-16th: FLY Beyond
FLY Beyond is the AFLC Youth Ministry’s national event that focuses on training, equipping, and releasing teens to live out their vocations in their local congregations both now and into the future. This year, the speakers will include camp favorite, Tim Barnett who will lead us in apologetic content, Pastor Sam Wellumson who will be bringing the evening messages, and Pastor Brent Olson who will be leading the Bible studies. Our theme for the week is based off of 1 Peter 2:4-9 which talks about Christ as the Living Stone being the foundation on which all believers are being built into a spiritual house for God’s glory. Registration opens in January of 2026.
One of the exciting opportunities at Hope is for our students to participate in the Youth Leadership Team. This opportunity gives the students a chance to impact the direction of the youth ministry at Hope, to get their hands dirty with different ministry tasks and experiences, and to be challenged and encouraged to see where the Lord has gifted them to serve His body through the local congregation. Applications for the 2025-26 school year are due August 18th.
In order to support students to be able to attend special events like the FLY Convention and FLY Beyond camps, we give each student opportunities to participate in fundraisers throughout the year and earn money for their individual youth accounts. If you would like to learn more about how these accounts work, check out the informational document about them by clicking the link above.

Our Youth Group exists to Grow and Go. Our first focus is to grow in Christ as we encounter Him through His revealed Word, the Bible. Then, we seek to grow in knowledge as we continue to learn about Him, the world He created, and how to rightly live in this world. Next, we seek to grow together as we experience the true fellowship of Christian brothers and sisters. Equally important to our growth is understanding God’s call for us to go as well. God has called us all to make disciples of all nations and our students are included in that call. This together is our purpose…to grow and to go.
