Hope Kids and Youth Programs

Hope Kids and Youth Programs includes Hope Kids’ Sundays, Hope Christian Preschool, and Hope Kids Camp. Hope Kids is described as a place to grow for kids and youth, where kids experience the awesomeness of God, gather in a setting designed just for them, and meet new friends. Hope Youth walks with students in grades 6 to 12, discipling them in faith, life, and mission through faith-based, Bible-based messages, and the church offers American Sign Language interpreted services.

• Schedule: Faith-based, Bible-based messages are part of the program’s activities

The program’s stated mission is: “To share the hope of Jesus with a world in need of hope.” The leadership team includes Pastor Kirk Dueker (Lead Pastor), Jeffrey Reuter (Associate Pastor), Maryanne Meier (Executive Director), David Hurlbutt (Brockport Campus Director), Ann Marie Pavone (Assistant to Pastors), and Chris Folwell (Center4Hope Director). The organization affirms and identifies with the Lutheran confessions as part of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. Through the Center 4 Hope, the broader church community shares the love of Christ through food, medical care, and career and financial counseling, and offers opportunities to volunteer locally and globally through Beyond the Walls (Local) and Beyond The Borders (Global) volunteer teams.
