Girls Night Out
Goals & Objectives
Facilitate a deeper understanding of God’s love for us as His creation.
Inspire the embracing of our identity as children of God.
Demonstrate why God’s guidelines and instructions for relationships are best.
Why Girls Night Out?
Being a girl is tough & being a teenager is one of the most difficult challenges to face young women. The goal of Girls Night Out is to provide some guidance and assistance to the young women traversing this path.
While we often feel alone in our struggles, comfort can be found in those travelling the road with us, as well as in those who have gone before. We seek to walk alongside our young women as they experience challenges, difficulties and joy.
Finally, although the Bible does not talk specifically about teenage girls, we believe that the Bible does have something to offer our teenagers as they travel this road, and we’d like to help them learn and understand just what that might be.
Topics & Issues We’ll Discuss
•Identity
•Self Image, Self Esteem, Self Worth
•Emotions
•Friendships
•Family Relationships
•Self-harm
•Dating Relationships/Boundaries
•Sexual Purity
As you can see some of the topics and issues we’ll be discussing at Girls Night Out are pretty heavy and difficult - we feel that this makes it very important for us to talk about them.
Our conversations will be age specific and appropriate for the age group. Please don’t hesitate to contact Pastor Corinne at 403 934-2424 or by email at hopecorinne@hotmail.ca if you have any questions about your daughter’s involvement in Girls Night Out.

Guys Night Out
Goals & Objectives
Facilitate a deeper understanding of God’s love for us as His creation.
Inspire the embracing of our identity as children of God.
Demonstrate why God’s guidelines and instructions for relationships are best.
Why Guys Night Out?
Our world has extremely high expectations of our young men - expectations that are nearly impossible to live up to. The goal of Guys Night Out is to help our young men discern which of those expectations are worthwhile and which are unhealthy or damaging.
Guys Night Out is about the journey of discovering what it means to be a godly young man. This journey is laden with traps and hazards intended to distract us from the life God has for us, but it is possible to stay focused and walk closely with God throughout it.
The Bible has much to say as our young men make this journey. It is the intention of Guys Night Out, and it’s mature, Christian male leaders to help unpack that a little, and to give them some direction along the road.
