Equipping Students for Lives of Service and Success

The Office of Campus Ministry (OCM) is dedicated to preparing students for their lifelong journey of faith and Christian service. We feel passionate about our mission and our opportunity to foster spiritual growth in lives and in the community.

Each Tuesday throughout the school year, the entire campus community gathers for Chapel to worship God together, experience His grace and be challenged toward greater discipleship. On Thursdays, small "Formation Groups" meet to explore issues of faith and life in a deeper, more personal way.

Because we believe service is an integral part of Christian commitment, the OCM provides numerous outreach opportunitites to share faith and assist the less fortunate in the greater Los Angeles/Orange County area.

For more information about specific activities, contact the Director of Campus Ministry by email or call (714) 879-3901, ext. 1284.

"I know the power of small groups, like our Formation Groups, and that was something that really drew me to Hope."

The Office of Campus Ministries exists to provide co-curricular programs and opportunities for students to develop holistically in their Christian faith and influence.

Chapel
The Chapel program at HIU exists to extend the call of Christian discipleship and service to our campus community. It seeks to inspire and challenge you in your Christian faith, and aids in building a sense of community on campus. Each week, we strive to display the relevance of the Gospel by bringing the Word of God to life. We also seek to communicate the Gospel’s diversity through worship and creative expression.

Chapel is held once a week on Thursdays from 9:30 am – 10:20 am in the Pacific Auditorium and is required of all full-time or residence PCC students.

Service & Outreach
Does service play a role in your education? We think so. Faith and service are an important part of your Hope experience. Share your faith and serve others through outreach events and community-based ministries and churches. From youth counseling and serving the homeless to short-term missions trips led by faculty and internships in churches, you’ll find plenty of ways to actively live out your faith.

If you’re hungry for service opportunities, or the chance to put legs to your faith, you’ll find plenty of opportunities as a student at Hope, both to challenge and inspire you.

Formation Groups
Formation Groups, a.k.a. “Barnabas Groups”, are weekly gatherings of students, for the purpose of personal, relational and spiritual growth. Dive deep into questions about life, faith, and the world in which we live with fellow Hope students. Formation Groups meet Tuesdays from 9:30 am - 10:20 am in various locations throughout the campus.
