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 in 1996. Despite moving to downtown Minneapolis, 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 Community Church after graduating.
