Student Ministries is where faith meets fun, and growth knows no bounds! Our vision is to journey together towards a deeper connection with Christ and self-leadership maturity. From vibrant worship sessions to dynamic small group discussions, every moment is a chance to thrive in a safe and supportive community. Get ready to laugh, worship, and grow with us – because here, every moment is for the Glory of God!

Middle School Ministry

Calling all 6th – 8th graders! Join us every week as we journey together, hand in hand, exploring the wonders of faith and friendship. It’s all about having a blast while growing closer to each other and to something bigger. Through uplifting worship, meaningful talks, and heartfelt discussions, we grow closer to each other and the amazing love of Jesus.

Upcoming Events!

Thank Fest Ignition Nights
New Hope Church | Student Center

We’re doing Thanksgiving at Illuminate Student Ministries a little different this year. Instead of inviting all our families to join us for one huge dinner, or attempting to have two separate dinners, we are taking it easy. This Ignition Night will have the same structure as all our other youth group events. We will attempt to plan a HUGE Dinner next year when we’ve settled into our new group format!

HS Thank Fest Ignition Night on Wednesday
November  20th, 6:30p-8:30p

MS Thank Fest Ignition Night on Sunday
November 24th, from 6p-8p
