Friday Night Youth
On the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Friday from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, we meet for a time of Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and games. Particular book studies are enjoyed from year to year, led by a rotating schedule of various Hope Bible Church teachers.
Youth Service
Each month, the ETC Student Ministry organizes service opportunities to assist other ministries at Hope Bible Church. These opportunities range from helping to clean the church to helping set up for activities with the same goal in mind: to serve the body.
Youth Conference and Retreat
The ETC Student Ministry hosts an annual conference and retreat to provide opportunities for youth to grow in their understanding of God’s Word. The conference typically takes place in January, and the retreat typically takes place in May.
