Student Ministry Summer Events

POWERLIFE SUMMER HANGOUTS: All junior high students (incoming grades 6-8) are invited to hang out at Hope West Des Moines for fun and faith-filled mornings to start the summer! We’ll meet from 10:00-11:30 am on the following Wednesdays: June 11June 18June 25, and July 2.

We’ll provide snacks, read a devotional, enjoy time outdoors, and then finish our time with a Bible study and small group discussion. Join us for all four weeks (or as many as you can)! 

Bring a friend—all are welcome!

To help our team plan for food and supplies, please register for PowerLife Summer Hangouts in advance!

IGNITION STUDENTS (incoming grades 9-12): Everyone is invited to join us for Adventure Day as we spend the day at Adventure Land, followed by dinner, worship, and a movie at Hope WDM! Please check out the calendar to see all the details and to find other events, as well! 

Wednesday, JULY 9: we have our next Student Ministry Summer Bash! All students entering grades 6-12 next fall are invited to join us from 7:30-9:00 pm for a party in the Hope West Des Moines parking lot with FREE food, fun games, live music, and lots of prizes! 

The event is FREE to attend! However, to help our team prepare enough food, please take a moment to register for the Summer Bash. If you cannot attend in July, mark your calendar for our final Summer Bash on Wednesday, August 6 (7-9PM) 

Students are encouraged to bring friends, so please share this invite with other families!  

VOLUNTEER at VBS: Each year, hundreds of students (incoming grades 7-12) volunteer for Vacation Bible School. It’s an action packed, week-long, Jesus party (and a great way to earn silver cord hours!) Truly, VBS would not be possible without all the junior shepherds who show up to serve in a big way for our younger students! Pray about it, and if you feel God giving you the nudge to serve. Sign up today

VOLUNTEER: If you would like to jump in and help at any of these events, we would love to have you join! Simply email Emma Storm and she will provide all the details!
