A letter from Pastor Chris and Pastor Sarah:

 
We are so excited for this year’s mission trip! Our destination this year is Huntington, West Virginia, an Appalachian city on the Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia borders. We are partnering with Praying Pelican Missions again this year, who has promised some wonderful mission opportunities for our youth. Our host church is Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, a large facility in the heart of Huntington.
 
Please scroll down for on tentative schedule and volunteer opportunities. More details about the schedule, packing lists, etc. will be available later in the spring.
 
Because of the significant cost of the trip (around $600 per participant) we are asking our youth and families for service time and participation in the life and ministries of New Hope Church. Two fundraisers are planned for the winter/spring (one in February, one in March/April), in addition to the Franks ‘n’ Teens event last fall, and we expect all the youth going on the mission trip to participate in those fundraisers. In addition, our other ministry area leaders (music, children, tech, building and grounds) have supplied a list of volunteer service opportunities for our youth to participate in as a way of giving glory to God for the opportunity to serve this summer! And, of course, regular attendance at youth group and youth small groups is expected as well. If the youth are unable to participate in the fundraisers and the service opportunities but would still like to participate in the mission trip, our expectation is that they would pay their own way.
 
We look forward to a great trip!
 
In Christ,
 
-Pastor Chris & Pastor Sarah
