The vision for youth ministry at Spirit of Hope United Methodist Church is to create an environment where youth in this community are empowered to feel valued and accepted through a supportive ministry in Christ which offers consistent fellowship and service opportunities.

Our youth ministry is guided by six principles:

1. Christ centered: making Christ alive in the lives of our youth.
2. Relational: youth ministry will provide intergenerational experiences as well as providing the opportunity to create inclusive relationships which share the love of Christ with others.
3. Student Leadership: youth will be invited to actively and responsibly participate in the life of the church.
4. Focus on service: youth will recognize the needs of others as Christ expects disciples to, and will strive to participate in a variety of community service and outward mission opportunities.
5. Safe, affirming environment: activities that are Christ-centered will provide a safe environment for youth to experience fellowship with other youth and adult leaders.
6. Fun: youth will experience fellowship together in recreational ministry so that they have consistent programming that will sustain their involvement
