Hope Kids and Youth Programs are part of Hope Church, whose mission is “To share the hope of Jesus with a world in need of hope.” Hope Church affirms the centrality of grace alone, faith alone, and the Word alone, and affirms and identifies with the Lutheran confessions as part of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. The leadership team includes Kirk Dueker (Lead Pastor, Leadership Team / Discipleship / Missions), Maryanne Meier (Executive Director, Leadership Team / Operations), Jeffrey Reuter (Associate Pastor, Leadership Team / Hope Groups), Noah Barnard (Worship Director, Leadership Team / Worship), Ann Marie Pavone (Pastoral Assistant, Leadership Team / Discipleship), John Brown (Communications & Information Technology Director, Leadership Team / Communications & Information Technology), Dave Hurlbutt (Connections Director, Leadership Team), and Chris Folwell (Center 4 Hope Director, Leadership Team / Center 4 Hope).

Through the Center 4 Hope, the broader ministry shares the love of Christ through food, medical care, and career and financial counseling. Food support is available for Greece residents on a monthly basis by appointment. There are volunteer opportunities in the community to assist people in need, as well as volunteer teams that serve beyond national borders.
