HP Teens exists to cultivate relationships with other students and families while building a foundation of faith that can be carried into adulthood. Students will have the opportunity to grow in their faith through Bible study, worship, service projects, and social events throughout the year. HP Teens is a place for any student to belong and know they are loved by God!
Middle School
Base Camp is for our Middle School students (7th-8th) as they build their foundation of faith and begin understanding their identity in Christ.
As they grow and mature in our group, they will know what they have to offer as a leader in our youth ministry. As our Base Camp students transition into the youth ministry, they will be given opportunities to participate in summer camps, retreats, and service opportunities that are geared to their ages.
High School
Summit is for our High School students (9th-12th) as they grow even deeper in their faith and embrace leadership roles in our congregation and the community.
Our High School students are held to a high standard of leadership in our group. There are opportunities for foreign mission trips, service projects, and social events reserved for Summit teens to enjoy and experience.
Bible Study
Our Bible Study and Fellowship nights are every 2nd Sunday, starting September 11, we will host a game show style event called Game Changer where students are encouraged to bring a friend. The game will change (hence the name) monthly- sometimes in the middle of the game. Bible study will follow.
The 4th Sunday is Prayer in the Park 5-6:30 pm at Bonnie Wenk Park, Students are encouraged to form the habit of praying for each other. At this event we will take time to have fun as well as spending time in prayer for the needs of the group.
Wednesday Night
Every Wednesday night we meet in Room 22 from 6:30-8 PM for dinner, worship, and scriptural application.
Midweek has an intentional focus on the worship experience to help lead our students and adults to a connection with the Holy Spirit. It is a very special part of our week with opportunities for students to serve on the worship team, lead devotionals, and spend time with friends. We hope to see you there!
