Young people sharing faith, hope and love in Milton Keynes...

About HOPE MK

Hope MK started as an annual youth event back in October 2013, it was set up by a small group of local youth workers who were inspired by other events like The Noise, Beyond Belief and Hope’s national mission campaign.  The event was set up under the banner of Hope, which is a national Christian mission movement to help give us an identity and credibility.  Our vision has always been about empowering young people for local mission, providing an opportunity for them to grow their Christian faith, be inspired for mission and unite together.

Who's making HOPE MK happen?

Hope MK for 7 years has been run by a core team of people, who are released from their youth/mission roles at their churches or organisations so that they can organise and coordinate the October event each year.  Bridgebuilder Trust has been a key partner from the beginning, and Scripture Union joined as a key partner in year 2. 

Local churches and organisations have been a vital part of the event too, either through faithfully hosting projects for us, releasing staff, sending volunteers, sending young people or donating funds.  Many denominations of churches get involved and it’s a great united event involving Catholic, Anglican, Pentecostal, Baptist, Newfrontiers as well as other or non-denominational churches.
