College and University Students

Young adults aged 18-22 are typically focused on their higher education, but they are also in a critical stage in their lives for emotional, social, and spiritual growth as well. At Hope Church, we are in a prime location to welcome students from Wake Forest (2.5 miles), Forsyth Tech (5.5 miles), Salem College (6 miles), UNCSA (6.5 miles), and Winston-Salem State (8 miles). While we do not have a specific ministry for college students, we encourage all students toward the following:

• Join us for worship on Sunday mornings.
• Attend our Discovering Hope class and become a member or associate member of our church.
• Join our Young Adult Life Group. We meet 6-8:30pm every other Wednesday.
• Join a campus ministry, such as RUF (see below) or InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.
• Seek mentoring from a member of Hope Church. (Contact Ethan Smith for more information)

Students at Wake Forest and Winston-Salem State are welcome to join our denomination’s campus ministry, Reformed University Fellowship (RUF):

• RUF Wake Forest large group meets every Tuesday at 8pm in the Green Room in Reynolda Hall, and you can also connect with a small group. For more information, contact the campus minister, John Bourgeois.
• RUF Winston-Salem State meets every Wednesday at 12:00pm at Chick-fil-A in DJR, and other opportunities to connect are available. For more information, contact the campus minister, Jonah Hooper.
