Hope on Campus

Helping Students to Know and Follow God for the Long Haul

We love college students! Our roots run deep at the University of Minnesota where Hope first started meeting in 1996 at Stadium Village Church on the University of Minnesota campus. Despite moving to Downtown Minneapolis in 2003, our desire to see college students across the Twin Cities become fully-devoted followers of Christ has not changed. Hope on Campus exists to help our students know and follow God while in school, and to discover their role within the church for the long term — even if they move on from Hope after graduating.
