Who We Are:
- Tupos (too-pos') is a Greek noun with a double meaning in English. Tupos means (1) to be an example or a pattern for, and (2) to make an impact on or leave an impression from one object on another. Our desire as a ministry is to teach students to and grow them in being an example and making an impact for Christ is this world. This word is rooted in the theme verse for this ministry, found in 1 Timothy 4:12, which reads "Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe" (NASB).
- This student ministry desires to be student led, under the direction and guidance of the Minister of Youth/Education (Pastor Justin Worden) and the Student Ministry Team (SMT). Students are leaders of Ministry Teams designed by students for students. These students overseeing the individual leadership teams (i.e. the Worship Team, the Drama Team, the Recreation Team) are part of the core group of students in Tupos, known as SALT (Student Accountability Leadership Team).

- Mission Trip To South Florida: has been another highlight of our summer each year (taking place at the end of July / beginning of August). Over the last couple of years we have traveled down to First Baptist of Pompano Beach to serve through the association (doing painting, rebuilding, etc) and through their homeless ministry (leading worship for and feeding over 100-150 homeless folks). What an opportunity this trip has been for us to be a "Tupos" (an example) to those we meet.
- ONE Student Ministries: is a collaboration of the local churches (including ours) to put on community-wide events for our students. These events included (but are not limited to): "ReVerb" Area-Wide DiscipleNow, our ONE Night School's Out Block Party, our ONE Night Back-2-School Rally, and our annual 5th Quarters (usually held at New Hope's Rec Center).

Why We Do It:
- Mission Statement: "Through energized worship and exhilarating events, we desire to encourage believers of Jesus Christ to go deeper in their personal relationship with Him and challenge them to be an example in all of life for their friends and family."
