Hey Hopesters, we’ve got some exciting news to share with you!
This past Sunday, our High School Youth Pastor, Ben Griffis, let our students know that later this year he’ll be stepping into a brand-new role on our staff—as our Recovery and Connections Pastor!
Ben has been faithfully leading our high schoolers for the past eight years, and he’s done an incredible job. Seriously, so many students have been impacted by his love for Jesus, his steady presence, and his incredible ability to run a good garage sale!
In his new role, Ben will be coming alongside our recovery ministries, helping us keep being the kind of church that understands and embraces the real-life need for recovery. He’ll also be teaming up with Pastor Jolene to make sure people don’t just show up to Hope—they get connected. Whether it's serving, joining a group, or finding their next step, Ben is going to work with Jolene, as they make those pathways clear and welcoming.
Now, you might be wondering, “What about our High School Youth Pastor spot?” Great question. We’re beginning the search and asking you to join us in prayer. We trust that God is already preparing the right person to step in and build on what Ben has established. If you know someone who might be a great fit, feel free to point them to this page—we’d love to connect with them!
Please be praying and we will keep you updated along the way!
Peace,
Nick
