Jim & Nichole focus on grades 6-12 with the Ignited Teens (not based on age). Their task is to empower young people and their families to walk in a direction of personal faith; to care for and help lead them in a direction that allows them to stand on their own feet as a Christian. Jim & Nichole seek to teach the Bible in a way that is relevant and profound to impact their students. They have been involved in sound/media and youth ministries since 1999 and one of their favorite memories was handing out "shoebox" Christmas gifts in a very poor county in West Virginia. Jim enjoys playing guitar and flying remote control planes.

Jim & Nichole BechardOur youth program at Living Hope is really more of a discipleship program. We believe that children and teens deserve to have more depth in their spiritual teachings so we go beyond just "Bible Stories" and dig into the heart of biblical teachings and how they apply to our lives in today's society. We teach the importance of putting Christ on the throne of our lives and having a close relationship with Him.Join us on the last Friday of each month from 6-9pm for an informal electronics-free game night and enjoy getting ot know some of our group while playing air hockey, ping pong, or other games.
