FAMILY MINISTRY
Welcome to the Family Ministry page at Hope.
Our Family Ministry team is committed to caring for every child and empowering them to grow as leaders by discovering and using their unique God-given gifts. Our mission is to impact the lives of children with the truth of God’s Word, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the love of the Savior, Jesus Christ, as we partner with parents in the lifelong discipleship of their children.
In every gathering, we strive to ensure that each child is physically safe, emotionally loved and spiritually fed.
FIRST TIME GUESTS
When you arrive on campus, simply stop by our Family Ministry Check-In Station, located at the covered kiosk on our central patio. One of our team members will be happy to welcome your family, answer any questions, and help you get your child(ren) checked in.
We look forward to meeting you!
If you are a first time guest who will be participating online, we would be happy to share our resources for Kids Church at Home.
To request these, please contact our Director of Family Ministry, Amanda.
HOPE KIDS CHURCH
Below is a list of the classes that we facilitate for Hope Kids Church during the Sunday morning worship service.
NURSERY
(3 months-36 months)
Our nursery staff provides a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where your little one can be cared for while you participate in worship. Our care team is available 15 minutes prior to each service so you have time to share any important information about your child and their individual care needs. While in the nursery, our ministry team will engage your child through play, simple Bible truths, prayer and loving interactions that introduce them to God’s love.
PRESCHOOL
(3 years-TK)
This environment provides an engaging atmosphere of fun, friendship and learning for 3 - 5 year olds. The teaching and supervision of this group is conducted by Hope City Church staff members who provide a consistent and familiar atmosphere for the kids. Our goal is to partner with parents in setting a foundation of Biblical knowledge for their child and to help facilitate each child’s growing understanding of their relationship with Jesus Christ.
ELEMENTARY
(K-2nd GRADE)
In their own environment, our elementary kids explore the teachings of the Bible to establish or build on their foundation of knowledge and learn new ways to apply this knowledge to their daily lives. Guided by their group leaders, kids will participate in group activities, games, discussion and prayer. We believe that kids will get to know God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as they interact with Scripture, their leaders and with one another in this group.
PRETEEN
(3rd-5th GRADE)
According to Barna Research, the preteen years are crucial to the spiritual development of your child. As a church, we desire to partner with you as you parent your preteen. During these years, most kids undergo huge changes and challenges related to their self-image and their choices concerning morals, beliefs, relationships and life goals. It often becomes a difficult time in the relationship between parents and kids, but it is also one of the most critical times for parents to make sure they stay connected and accessible to their kids. Our goal is to provide teaching and resources for your preteen to grow in their knowledge and relationship with Jesus. This is accomplished through their interaction with their group leaders on Sunday mornings and through the weekly resources provided for your conversations at home.
