Welcome to Hopefest!  

We are an independent non-profit 501(c)3 organization that embodies a desire to make an impact on the lives of youth in New England through the message of the Gospel and building a relationship with Jesus.

Our Vision

To cultivate a generation of spiritually grounded, service-oriented youth who embody the love of Christ. Through faith events, worship nights, and field missions - we want to empower young people to lead through their faith, serve others with compassion, and create a positive impact in their communities and world.

Through our events we ...

Create a space where young people of New England can encounter the presence of God

Encourage youth to build a closer relationship with Jesus (or start one!)

Inspire youth to grow in their faith by cultivating a community of like-minded people

Empower youth with the Word of God so they can minister to the world around them

Provide local resources for youth to connect to a trusted, Bible teaching church to further their walk with Jesus.

Youth Worship Nights 

Youth Worship Nights are designed to inspire, energize, and equip young people in their faith journeys. These 

evenings provide a safe and engaging space where youth can connect with God and each other meaningfully. Youth Worship Nights with Hopefest are more than just an event—they’re a movement, guiding young people

to grow spiritually, form meaningful relationships, and positively impact the world around them.

Dynamic Worship Experiences

Youth Worship Nights focus on two things.  Being in God's Presence and relationship.  These evenings feature live music led by talented worship teams where young people can express their faith and connect emotionally with the message of God's love.

Relevant and Relatable Teaching

Messages during worship nights are relevant, scripturally sound, and bring the Word of God alive to the audience.  We want youth to be hungry for more of Him and not more of us.  

Building Community

Through small groups, games, and shared moments, young people build lasting friendships and experience the support of a Christ-centered community.

Inspiration for Action

Each night ends with a challenge or reflection, encouraging youth to live out their faith in their daily lives. Whether through acts of service, personal growth, or sharing their experiences, they leave empowered to make a difference.

Youth Mission Trips 

Mission trips can be life-changing experiences.  We focus on designing these trips to help youth grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially. These trips provide opportunities for young people to step outside their comfort zones, engage with diverse communities, and develop a deeper understanding of what it means to live out their faith.

Spiritual Growth
Through hands-on service, youth experience the power of faith in action. Whether building homes, feeding the hungry, or providing care to vulnerable populations, these activities foster a profound connection with Christ's teachings about love, service, and compassion. Youth return home with a closer relationship with Jesus, with a stronger sense of purpose, and a clearer understanding of their role in God’s plan.

Leadership and Teamwork

Mission trips teach invaluable life skills such as leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork. Youth collaborate to complete service projects, navigate challenges, and support each other - building their confidence and fostering resilience.

Cultural Awareness and Empathy
Serving in diverse settings helps young people broaden their worldviews. They learn to appreciate different cultures and perspectives while building empathy for others’ struggles. This transformative exposure often ignites a lifelong passion for service and advocacy.

Life-Long Relationships
Mission trips strengthen relationships within the HopeFest community. Shared experiences of worship, service, and reflection create deep bonds among participants, fostering a sense of belonging and spiritual family.

Mission Statement
To inspire, empower, and connect youth through worship, service, and faith-driven action. Our program creates 

dynamic worship nights that foster a deep connection with God and the community while providing opportunities for 

youth to embark on meaningful mission trips, transforming lives, and spreading hope globally.
