Senior High Student Ministry

Faith Community Church of Hopkinton loves teenagers! Student Ministry at Faith Community Church partners with parents to guide students in grades 7-12 to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and a greater love for others. We believe the Church is the best partner for families seeking to foster spiritual maturity in young people. Additionally, we encourage our adult Ministry Partners to build Christ-centered relationships with our students. Students in our ministry have opportunities to encounter Christ and grow spiritually through Sunday morning ministry, small groups and retreats. They serve in the church, the surrounding community and the world through service projects and missions trips.

Below is a breakdown of activities offered in our Senior High Ministry (Grades 9-12):

Sunday Mornings (September – June)
Senior High Youth Group meets weekly during second service on Sundays. We start in the Worship Center at 10:45 for worship and are then dismissed to Room 214 to gather with Senior High students for relevant teaching, discussions, games, fellowship, prayer and announcements until noon.

Join us at beforehand at 10:15am in the Student Ministry Café for food and fellowship before the service starts.

Small Groups (October – May)
Weekly, single gender, adult-led small groups meet in people’s homes for fellowship, prayer and Bible study.

Retreats
Two retreats are offered annually for Senior High students. In September, we head to Camp Brookwoods for our Fall Retreat with just Faith Community Church Senior High students. In January, we join our Junior High and 200+ other students from New England at Camp Berea for our Deep Freeze winter retreat.

Mission Trips
Each summer, our Senior High students go on a mission trip where we partner with local churches and ministries to reach those in need, either physically or spiritually, with the love of Christ. Recent trips have taken us to the Dominican Republic, New York, West Virginia, Jamaica, New Orleans, and San Francisco.

For our upcoming sr. high mission trip (June 28 – July 6, 2013), we will bring a team of 68 students and 20 leaders to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, in partnership with TIME Ministries. For trip details and information, please go to our Mission Trip page.

 
Student Fellowship & Service
In addition to retreats and the annual mission trip, we sponsor regular group activities. Recent special events have included bowling, a cookout, campfire, All-Nighter, Yankee Swap, Movie Night, Ultimate Frisbee, Cook-Off competition, Air Band contest, Olympics, Night of Worship and more. Opportunities to serve have included working at the Salvation Army, Project Just Because, Boston Rescue Mission, Habitat for Humanity, World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine, as well as tornado cleanup, yard raking, moving, painting and more.

Baptism

Publicly profess your personal faith in Jesus Christ through baptism. Not only is baptism an act of obedience to Christ, but it is a great opportunity to witness to others, and strengthen and celebrate your faith.

All baptism candidates are required to attend a class prior to getting baptized.
