Hi there! My name is Victoria Hoppes and I live in Bloomington, Indiana with my cat Toby. I serve as the Camp Director at Waycross Episcopal Camp and Conference Center in Morgantown, Indiana, and as the Coordinator of Ministries With and For Youth for the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis.
I have my Bachelor of Arts degree in Dramatic Media and Theology from Texas Lutheran University. In May 2018, I graduated from Luther Seminary with a Master of Arts degree in Children, Youth, and Family Ministry. I also hold a Certificate in Youth & Family Ministry from Forma's Faith Formation Academy.
Prior to living and working in Indiana, I have been blessed to serve in a wide variety of ministry contexts. My first role working in youth ministry was in 2009 when I served on the summer staff of Cross Trails Ministry in Kerrville, TX. As a college student, I served as the Youth Director at St. John Lutheran Church in Marion, TX. My first full-time ministry job was serving as the Associate for Youth & Camping Ministries for the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania. I most enjoy program development and curriculum writing, engaging teenagers in spiritual and leadership development, and working with camp and outdoor ministry programs. I also enjoy networking and providing advice and consultations to local youth ministries.
In addition to my full-time ministry work, I became the Project Manager and Editor of Faith @ Home, a shared resource ministry of Forma and Forward Movement, in February 2019. In this role, I manage our writers, edit content, and send out weekly devotions to a growing subscriber list. I am also a member of the Editorial Design Team for InsideOut Christian Camp Resources.
In my free time, I like to read, write, binge-watch comedy on Netflix, and try new recipes (especially baking!) I also love exploring the world and finding new local places to shop and eat (especially new coffee shops where I can write!) Two of my favorite shows are This Is Us and The Big Bang Theory. I also really enjoy watching "vintage" episodes of Saturday Night Live.
