Come Join the Fun on Wednesday Nights!

PowerLife is a fun, safe and welcoming environment where junior high students (grades 6-8) can explore the Bible, ask challenging questions about life, meet new friends and confirm their faith in Jesus Christ. As Hope’s confirmation ministry, PowerLife is designed to help students discover their faith through weekly gatherings where we create space for students to focus on building healthy, faith-filled relationships; learn more about God through worship, prayer and our study of the Bible; and live out their faith by applying their beliefs to everyday life!

Grade 6: Wednesdays, 6:00-7:15 pm
Grade 7: Wednesdays, 6:30-7:45 pm
Grade 8: Wednesdays, 7:00-8:30 pm
