Sunday School
In the Fall, Winter and Spring, we offer age-appropriate scripture based Bible lessons from 9:30AM to 10:30AM, taught by well-trained, dedicated teachers.Youth Confirmation Classes
New Hope offers Confirmation Classes each year for youth who are interested in exploring their faith and learning what it means to become a follower of Christ. Confirmation Classes are open to students 6th grade through high school who have not yet been confirmed.Winter Confirmation Classes begin in January 2010 and continue through May. All Middle School and High School youth who have not already been confirmed at New Hope are encouraged to participate. Our first informational meeting for both parents and students will be held from 10:30-10:45AM on Sunday, January 10 in the youth room. At this meeting we will review the basic outline of the curriculum, the requirements and responsibilities of the students, some of the exciting events and opportunities that supplement this program, and a time for you or your student to ask questions concerning the program. Students are expected to attend every Sunday session that class is held, attend a retreat, and complete a service activity.
More information will be sent to Middle School and High School youth in December. In the meantime, contact Youth Ministry Director Bob Cline with any questions.
