MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY AND CONFIRMATION OVERVIEW
Middle School Hours
North, South & West Campus
Wednesday 7:15pm
Middle School Ministry at Hope Lutheran consists of the programming we make available to our 6-8th grade students. This includes our Wednesday evening/Sunday morning weekly gatherings, special events, and geared retreats. Every middle school student is welcome to be a part of Middle School Ministry at Hope without anything expected from them. We are simply glad they are here.
Hope Youth exists for youth to be loved (Hopetots), belong (Hopekids), believe (Middle School Ministry) and be light (High School Ministry). That’s the next part of the Great Commission: “baptizing them… and teaching them.” Students who choose to complete ABCs may attend the one-time event of Confirmation, which confers full adult membership in the Church.

EVENTS
Youth Worship Retreat

Cost: $125 (email youth@fargohope.org to inquire about scholarships)
All 6-12th grade students are invited to a worship-filled weekend at camp! There will be plenty of time for winter activities, music workshops (for those interested), and of course time to dive into God’s Word. Regardless of students involvement in our youth worship teams or their musical abilities, they are welcome to join this weekend for fun and worship.
Notice: Transportation is not provided for this retreat. Check-in begins at IPoint at 6:00pm on Friday (eat supper prior). Parents are invited to join us for Sunday morning worship at 10:30am with pick-up/departure beginning at 11:30am.
Youth Worship
Sundays 1:00-2:00pm, South Campus
Our desire for Hope’s Youth Worship (formerly Toast and Jam), is to create student led worship teams to lead their peers in worship for Middle School and High School programming.
Join us for a weekly youth worship jam-session! This is a combined rehearsal at our South Campus for all middle and high school students. All musical abilities welcome; bring your instruments if you have one, or let us know what you’d like to learn!

Connect
Parenting can be a challenge, especially when it comes to helping your child build a solid faith foundation. That said… we are here to help! Each month, check out a new resource for parents diving into a topic that will help you connect with your middle schooler on a deeper level. These resources are from an organization called Axis that specializes in helping equip parents to walk alongside of their youth in navigating their faith journey.
If you would like further resources or to connect on how we can further support you in these areas, please email Pastor Ben at bsullivan@fargohope.org.
