In an age where traditional values are being challenged, we help college students develop thoughtful, compassionate perspectives, and lifestyles that reflect God’s heart and values to our world. Students are involved in many aspects of church life at New Hope Community Church and are encouraged to participate as much as their schedules allow. There is a Sunday morning study (Bagels & Bibles) for college students at 9 am. All are welcome.
