At Living Hope Community Church, we believe that we grow together as a community of faith as we worship God together as a family – all generations celebrating God together. But we also acknowledge that, in addition to that corporate worship, and as an extension of it, people need contact with others who share a common situation in life.
At Living Hope, the “younger crowd” includes youth and young adults – it refers to anyone who considers themselves to be ”younger.” We want to offer ministry opportunities for young people that allow them to grow together, and to experience genuine fellowship with other people around their own age.
The list below is growing, so check back often to see what new opportunities exist for the younger crowd.

Corporate Worship: the central and most important ministry opportunity for youth is corporate worship. As we worship together as a family, we grow together, celebrate together, encourage each other, support each other, and hold each other accountable, all within the most glorious gift God has given His people – the ability to join Him in His throne room and worship the King of Kings. For us to pass on our faith to the next generations, the generations must worship God together. Therefore, all of our youth ministry begins in and centers on worshiping God together.
