EXPERIENCING GOD’S LOVE
Through discipleship relationships and Bible studies, youth and children at The Hope Center for Kids learn about God’s love. Elementary age children are introduced to a new Bible study each week. Middle school and high school youth explore the relevancy of Biblical truths in the challenges they face daily through Bible studies, youth development and P31. P31 is a weekly, high-energy service which includes worship, interactive activities, prayer and more.
