Avodah aims to impact the next generation to work, serve, and worship the Lord.
ABOUT AVODAH
In the original Hebrew, Avodah (uh-VOH-duh) means to work, to serve, and to worship. In God’s economy, work, service, and worship are one and the same. When we work, we are worshipping. When we worship, we are serving. When we serve, we are working.
The English language really misses the depth of meaning that can be found in the original Biblical languages ...

HIGHLIGHTED EVENT
CHRISTMAS PARTY
December 17
Avodah Middle & High School will be coming together to celebrate the Christmas holidays. Grab your favorite festive PJ’s and join us!
Middle School and High School can be one of the most challenging seasons for many of us. With the many pressures that students face each day, it is important that teenagers have a place that is actively pouring into them and reminding them of their worth. Avodah prioritizes making disciples for Jesus. By equipping teenagers with Biblical truths, we are preparing them not only for this current season but for their walk with Jesus the rest of their lives.
Yes absolutely. If you can’t make Wednesday night because of another obligation, please come talk to Michael or one of our leaders. Avodah wants to see students be SALT and LIGHT. That means if you have another commitment on Wednesday nights (swimming, dance, wrestling, piano, etc.), we want to prepare you to impact that mission field. We are called to use the gifts that God gives us. Send an email to mchadwick@momentsofhopechurch.org so that we can help equip you and possibly even pair you with a mentor during your busy seasons. Any student is allowed to sign up for one of our winter/spring/ or summer trips.
Food and snacks are provided for students at most Avodah events. If parents want to contribute towards the food fund, please click here.
We do not require registration for our weekly events. We will have registration for camps, retreats, and other larger events so we know how to plan for appropriate numbers. If you register for an Avodah event, please be sure to show up or let us know ahead of time if you can’t make it.
We encourage you to join our text list to receive regular updates:
You can also join the “Avodah Youth Ministry” group on planning center for regular email updates.
All of our upcoming events are listed on the Avodah page of the church website.
High School Nights can best be described as a family gathering. We have dinner, we laugh, we pray, and go through a teaching. We want students to feel like they are walking into a home each time they show up.
Time: 6:30p - 8:00p
Location: Moments of Hope Church (The Den)

If you can only make one thing this month, this is it! Avodah “All In” nights are an “all hands on deck” type of event. We invite all of our leaders, middle schoolers, and high schoolers together for a night of worship, fellowship, teaching and equipping. Our goal is that these nights light a fire beneath our feet so that we may boldly and confidently grow closer to the Lord each month.
The Den is our primary Avodah space (the larger of the two) located behind Moments of Hope Church (Providence Square). This space is meant to foster relationships, build community, and worship. The space was created to act as our “home” gathering place.
The Avodah Cafe is the smaller Avodah space behind Moments of Hope Church. This space is meant to be a resting place, time of fellowship and community, and leveraged for intentional Avodah activities.
Avodah retreats are a time for fellowship, learning the Bible, and deepening one’s relationship with The Lord.
Retreats occur once a year for each group Middle School (Fall) and High School (Spring).
Barnabas Groups are small groups within our High School ministry in which relationships are fostered, students are challenged and equipped with scripture, and encouraged to be the salt and light in our world. Each High School student is placed in a Barnabas Group and will meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month (or as planned with group leaders).
