HC Students
Middle & High School | Grades 6-12 | Sundays 6-8pm
HC Students is the middle and high school ministry of Hope Community. Every Sunday night we eat together, play games, and dig into the Bible as truth that applies to real life. Our goal is for students to know Jesus, walk in truth, and be transformed, while building real friendships with each other and with adult leaders who care about them.
What a Sunday Night Looks Like
New here? Here’s what to expect. Come upstairs when you arrive and hang out in the lobby or sanctuary with other students and leaders. We start eating around 6, and Sunday nights are always free.
Food
We start around 6 with dinner together. Come hungry!
Games
Time to hang out, compete, and have fun together.
Message
Truth from the Bible that applies to real life.
Small Groups
Talk it through with friends and adult leaders who care about you.
Take It Home
The conversation doesn’t have to end on Sunday night. Each week we share the lesson’s memory verse and a few discussion questions. Save them to your phone or print them out. Parents, use the questions to keep the conversation going around the dinner table, in the car, or at bedtime. Students, use them on your own for further reflection during the week.
Upcoming Events
Besides Sunday nights, we plan fun events and chances to serve throughout the year. Every event is designed to be easy to invite a friend to. Let us know you’re coming so we can plan food, rides, and supplies. Some events are covered by the church and some have a cost; we’ll share details with each event.
First Time? Start Here.
Walking into something new can feel awkward. Here are answers to the questions students and parents ask most. Still have a question? Reach out anytime.
Where do I go when I get there?
Come in the front door and head upstairs. You can hang out in the lobby or come into the sanctuary. Students and leaders will be hanging out, and we start eating around 6.

All students in grades 6-12. You don’t need to attend Hope Community to come, and friends are always welcome.
What if I don’t know anyone?
No problem! Our leaders love meeting new students and will help you get connected. Bringing a friend along is always welcome too.
Does it cost anything?
Sunday nights are always free, food included. Some special events are covered by the church and some have a cost. We’ll share the details with each event.
