Hope on Campus

Helping Students to Know and Follow God for the Long Haul

Hope on Campus is the college ministry of Hope Community Church Downtown that exist to help students know and follow Jesus for the long haul. It's a bridge between campus life and the local church, helping students find belonging and purpose that last beyond graduation. You’ll find events that connect faith, friendship, and fun in order to let students know that the local church loves them.

Regular Rhythms

Sundays

College students gather together in service, ride the Hope Bus from the U of M, and share a home cooked lunch on the first Sunday of every month. It’s one of the best ways to connect with other students and experience the wider Hope community.

Study Day

We get it, college life is full, especially during finals. Once a semester, we open our buildings for Study Day, a relaxed, come-and-go space for students to study, eat, and unwind. Enjoy the latte bar, woodfire pizza, and study breaks with a few gym games.

Events & Gatherings

Throughout the academic year, we host gatherings designed to help students build friendships and have fun over pizza and gym games. These times are all about connection and joy, reminding us that following Jesus isn’t meant to be done alone.

Campus Office Hours

During the school year, you’ll find our staff hosting office hours on campus—a simple way to connect, ask questions, or grab coffee between classes. Whether you need a quick conversation or just a friendly face in the middle of your week, we’d love to see you.
