Friday Night Live will be on April 25, 2008, at 7:00 PM.  There will be young people from Moreno Valley, Perris, Banning, Palm Spring, Riverside, Sun City, Temecula, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, the University of California Riverside, and Cal Baptist University, participating.

This is a spin-off from the Youth Summit in 2007 and a pre-warm up for the 2008 Youth Summit.  There will be gospel music, gospel Rap, praise dancers, poetry, food, beverages, the preached word of God, and a Holy Ghost good time for everyone.  Additionally, the Friday Night Live will address some of the issues that young people are dealing with in the 21st century and will offer them positive alternatives on how to live.

Our goal at Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church is to give our young people alternatives on Friday Nights; instead of going to the night club or to the party where so many negative things can happen, young people are being invited and challenged to fellowship in the house of the Lord. 

We are praying that we can have Friday Night Life at least once a month but we have to start somewhere.  Too many of our young people are dying in the streets and most of them don't have anything to do except get into trouble and we believe at Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church that these young people are reachable but we have to make a better effort to let them know that someone does care.  Our ultimate goal is to keep young people away from drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, gangs, negativity, poor self-esteem, poor value systems, teenage pregnancy, and hopelessness and give them something in exchange that is positive, Jesus Christ.  

Our young people must be exposed to the positive things in life:  positive role models, positive education, spiritual knowledge, field trips, arts and crafts, Christian education, church participation, family settings, a positive value system, and fun and games and what better place to be exposed to these positive elements of life than in the Church. 

The last Friday Night Live was standing room only; the public is invited.  For more information call Rev. Ronald Chatman at (951) 345-7126.    We are a church that is real, relevant, and reachable.   Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church is located at 22876 Mountain Ave., Perris CA.   Phone: (951) 657-5465.
