Children and Student Ministries
In Children and Student Ministries we aim to partner with parents to make disciples of Jesus of all ages. We also desire to equip parents to fulfill their God-given responsibility to train their children in the “discipline and instruction of the Lord” - Ephesians 6:12.
We encourage parents to bring children of any age into the Sunday worship gathering from 10 – 11:15 am. The kids and students of Living Hope Church are a vital part of our church family, and we desire them to worship with us. To aid in their involvement, worship-specific activity sheets are available at the Hospitality cart in the commons.
Early Childhood Discipling
In the Early Childhood Discipling class (0-4 years), children are taught from the Bible, discipled in worship, prayer, and Bible memory. They are taught from A Sure Foundation, a curriculum from Truth78 geared toward older toddlers and preschoolers that highlight His Praiseworthy Deeds (Volume 1) and allow children to Set their Hope in God (Volume 2). To resource parents and caregivers to disciple their children in the home each week, they are given a summary of what their child(ren) learned. Please arrive at 9:45 am so you and your child(ren) can get situated before the service begins. A greeter and/or signage will help direct you toward the children’s classroom.
Time: 10–11:20 am
Kids’ Discipling
We desire to partner with parents to disciple the hearts and minds of our preschool (4-5 year old) and elementary-age students (K-5th grade) at Living Hope. Our leaders will disciple students in the Bible, through prayer, a time of worship, and in Bible memory and then resource parents each week with tools to engage on each lesson.
Faithful to All His Promises is a curriculum for children on the promises of God. Children will discover what it means to trust in God's promises, which are His gift to us, not something we deserve. Faithful to All His Promises begins by teaching children what a promise is, what makes God trustworthy with these promises, and who these promises are for. Then, children get to explore some specific promises from God to see how He has been and will be faithful to each of those promises. God's character is trustworthy; therefore, His promises are true and reliable.
Dates: Sept 8- May 18
Time: 8:45-9:45am
Young Women’s Discipling
As an integral part of Living Hope Church, we encourage our young women to joyfully treasure Christ, love one another, and make disciples of Jesus. The format of our group includes two main components as faith women teach younger women: Word and community. We want to know and love Jesus by taking the time to see Him in the Word of God. We engage in community with one another by sharing authentically, building trust, and simply having fun together.
Who: All young women of Living Hope Church (ages 15+) are welcome to join us as we seek Jesus together. Visitors are welcome!
Time: one-on-one discipling
Young Men’s Discipling
In Young Men’s Discipling, faithful men teach younger men what it looks like to read the Bible, pray, and worship God in all of life. Our passion is to grow these young men as those who treasure Christ and are growing in maturity as disciples of Jesus.
The Young Men are working through a series on the redemptive history of God from Genesis to Revelation to impart the rich vision of the gospel.
Who: All young men of Living Hope Church in Middle School and High School. Visitors are welcome!
Time: 8:45 – 9:30 am (Sept-May)
