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
Amplified Worship: A Youth Worship Retreat
February 6-8 | Castaway
Cost: $150 *full and partial scholarships available: email youth@fargohope.org
All 6–12th graders are invited to a fun and impactful weekend as we AMPLIFY our Praise! The vision for the weekend will include elements of community building (plenty of time to enjoy camp and outdoor winter activities) and learning sessions (music workshops) amidst digging into some scripture as we take a look at the heart of worship. This retreat will remain an open invitation to all students regardless of their involvement in our youth worship teams, so invite your friends! Essentially, all are invited to a worship-filled weekend!
- Please note: transportation is not provided for this retreat. Parents and family are invited to attend a special worship service prior to pick-up time on Sunday (details to come)!
Youth Worship Rehearsals
Sundays | 1:00pm | South Campus
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.
