Muncie’s THRIVE Youth Group
Wednesdays 6:30-8:30 pm
Thrive is Rising Hope’s youth group, and we engage students by creating a culture of safety and belonging, empowering them to live out their faith daily. We elevate their perspective to embrace a mission mindset, equipping them to thrive as disciples who share the gospel and make an eternal impact in the world.
Whether you’re new to church or grew up in it, you’re welcome here—bring a buddy and let’s make Wednesdays your new favorite night.

Thrive Youth Group FAQs
Do you meet every week?
Yes! Thrive meets every week. No matter what “break” may be happening (fall break, Summer break, Spring break, etc.), we will still be having youth.
*Note: If THRIVE falls on any of the following days, we do not meet: Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year’s, or New Year’s Eve.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
For regular programming, feel free to bring your Bible, notepad, a pen, or pencil. Other than that, just come as you are!
If you do not have a Bible, please let us know and we will gift you one!
Do you offer weekly transportation?
No, we do not offer weekly transportation to/from the Thrive Youth Group.
However, you can text the Thrive number (765-633-6363) if you or your child needs a ride, and we will work with you to find potential options to make sure your child can attend.
What curriculum do you use?
We use a curriculum called “Youth Pastor Co.” This curriculum was picked out specifically for its theologically-sound teaching and easy-to-understand material.
I am attending an upcoming, off-site event. What should I do to prepare?
REQUIRED: A signed permission form from your parent/guardian must be provided before you can attend any off-site event.
