Family Ministry
We live as a FAMILY
Family Ministry
In Family Ministry we have the unique opportunity and calling to make every child and student of every ability feel seen, known, and loved by their Creator.
Check out this video for more about Family Ministry at Hope.
Birth-5th
Kids birth thru 5th grade will engage with the gospel in a way that brings the Bible to life and makes it relevant to them right where they are.
Middle School
Middle School Ministry (MSM) helps students build connections and deepen their faith through small groups each Sunday and large group events throughout the year.
A few times per year we’ll close MSM and invited our middle schoolers to attend the adult gathering in the auditorium.
We’re all about intergenerational connection and see great value in providing opportunities for the whole family to worship together.
High School
High School Ministry (HSM) hosts a variety of events where students are able to connect with each other, have fun, and grow in their faith.
HSM gathers Sunday nights from 6:00-8:00 PM at both Apex and Raleigh campuses for small-group discussion.
The 1st Sunday of the month, all of high school gathers at the Apex campus for HSM Worship Night, led by the high-school worship team..
Special Needs
Special Needs Ministry empowers and provides support to individuals with special needs and their families by creating an accepting community in which to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Our goal is to pair volunteer buddies with kids and students needing 1:1 support so that they can participate in classrooms alongside peers of the same age.
Young Adults with special needs (high school and up) are invited to join the Young Adult class Sundays at 11:15 AM at both Apex and Raleigh campuses.
Family Ministry
Families these days are busier than ever. It’s easy to feel overcommitted, overwhelmed, and under equipped—but it doesn’t have to be that way.
At Hope, we want to strengthen the core of families by investing heavily in marriages, parenting, and youth. We’ve got ministries for all ages and resources to help you connect with your own family and with other families like yours. We’re in this together, and we’re here for you.

Parents' Night Out
Parents’ Night Out is a respite event for the parents and caregivers in our community who need it most. It is typically offered four times per year—twice in the spring and twice in the fall; rotating between Apex and Raleigh campus locations.
Parents/caregivers can drop off participants from 6:00–8:00 PM for an evening of fun and games* (while they have some time to themselves).
Eligible participants include:
- Individuals impacted by special needs (any age) and neurotypical siblings ages 12 and under.
- Foster children and biological/adopted siblings ages 12 and under.
- Children ages 12 and under from single-parent families.
*Guests are divided by age for developmentally appropriate games and activities in different environments – nursery/preschool, elementary and older teens/young adults.
Join us for Parents’ Night Out Friday, Dec 5 in Raleigh.
