New Hope Teens
This page is the digital home for everything happening with New Hope Teens for students in grades 6-12. Here, students grow in their faith, have a blast with friends, and discover what It means to live fully for Jesus.
Here you’ll find upcoming events, forms, and everything you need to stay connected -- registering for events is easiest with the Church Center App. Whether you're a parent or a student, we're glad you're here.
Regular Meetings
We don’t believe students are just “the next generation.” We believe they’re called right now.
From real conversations about faith and mental health, to games, friendships, worship, and mentoring—our Wednesday nights are full of energy, purpose, and the presence of God.
We’re building a community where students feel known, loved, and challenged.
Locations of meetings may vary; please follow the calendar below.
