HOPE Youth

YOUTH AT HOPE

HOPEyouth exists to help students ages middle through high school (grades 6-12) become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ, who let God love them, who love Him in return, and who love others in Jesus’ name.

All students 6th - 12th grades meet together on Wednesday evenings for a night full of student-led worship, games, and an encouraging message. Each Wednesday night also ends in small groups, divided up according to gender and grade to allow for deeper connection and community building with students of the same age! High school and middle school are together for worship, but are separate for the message and small group.

Middle school also meets weekly on Sunday mornings for Sunday School during the school year.

Middle School Sunday School

We offer Middle School Sunday School during our 10:30am service throughout the school year! Students meet in the Youth Room for games, donuts, and teaching (we LOVE when they bring their own Bibles). No check-in is needed—just swing by to pick them up in the Youth Room after the service – or they can meet you where you are too!

Bluewater Bible Camps

Every summer, Bluewater Bible Camps are available for various age groups. If your student would like to attend a camp, head to Bluewater’s site, click the “Youth Camps” tab, then click “Camp Schedule” to find the camp your student would like to attend.

Bluewater is also accepting donations to aid in the travel on buses to the camps this summer. Your donations are appreciated! You can give directly to the bus driver when your child attends and they will bring that donation to Bluewater, or you can mail your donation to: Teien Covenant Church and sent to 44680 State Hwy 220 NW Stephen, MN 56757.

$40 is the recommended donation per camper.
