Hope's Sunday School program runs September through May and is for children ages Pre-K through 5th grade. It offers kids opportunities to build skills for faith formation practices (Bible reading, praying, etc.) as well as developing a basic understanding of God’s love for them and their identity as children of God!

Participants begin in worship with their families, then join teachers to head to class after the Children’s Message. Kids also have the opportunity for communion or a blessing during worship before returning to their small group.

Volunteer teachers and assistants are needed each week to cover our Pre-K & Kindergarten class, our 1st & 2nd Grade class, and our 3rd to 5th Grade class. 5th graders can participate in their age group class or opt to serve as junior counselors, assisting in other classes. Volunteers 18+ are asked to have a current background check and take our online Abuse Prevention Training class, both provided at no cost.

For more information, please contact Alicia Herrle, Children's Ministry Coordinator.

First Communion

Holy Communion is a gift from God! As with any gift that God bestows, it is given with no strings attached—there is nothing we can do that makes us more or less worthy to receive the gift. When kids receive a gift, it is natural to want to know all about what it is, how it works, and what to do with it. That is what the First Communion class will teach our kids. To learn more, please contact Pastor Amy Cooley Higgs.

Confirmation

Calling all 6th-8th graders to join us! Confirmation class will meet two Wednesdays each month from 5:30-7:30pm (you’ll receive a schedule for the year after registering). Additional youth events will happen monthly along with retreats and special events several times throughout the year.

Hope Confirmation provides our young people the opportunity to affirm the baptismal vows made by parents and take their faith lives into their own hands! This time prepares them to publicly declare their intent to continue their faith journey and to receive the love and support of their congregation. 

Please register for Confirmation Here and talk to Pastor Amy Cooley Higgs with any questions or concerns.

And food will most likely be a part of every event. Get your 2025-26 schedule to save the dates! For more information, please contact Pastor Amy Cooley Higgs.
