Student Ministry (6th-12th Grade)

New Hope's Student Ministry exists to equip and empower middle and high school students to live out the Gospel together. We strive to create exciting environments that give teenagers opportunities to build relationships with peers, caring adults, and the God who loves them fiercely.

“SERVE YOUR CITY” RECAP

Our Student Ministry spent the week serving our community through a variety of hands-on projects across Fort Myers. Throughout the week, students demonstrated Christ's love by meeting practical needs, building relationships, and sharing kindness wherever they went.

Monday: Cleaned up the Dunbar neighborhood and served PB&J sandwiches and popsicles while spending time playing with children at Renaissance Preserve.

Tuesday: Provided lawn maintenance for One More Child.

Wednesday: Enjoyed a devotional at Ride Nature, participated in a prayer walk through downtown Fort Myers, and created bookmarks for Verity Pregnancy Center and the Lee County Juvenile Detention Center.

Thursday: Served at ECHO by helping with work on the farm.

Friday: Blessed our community with a free car wash and any optional donations went to support Sarai and her missions work.

Saturday: Volunteered at the Midwest Food Bank.

Thank you to everyone who prayed for our students and leaders throughout the week. We are grateful for the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community!
