Formation Groups are weekly gatherings of students, for the purpose of personal, relational and spiritual growth.
During New Student Orientation (Welcome Week), students are assigned to a First Year group consisting of approximately 10-20 students and a First Year Leader. FY groups help integrate, encourage, and support new students during NSO and throughout the academic year. FY groups meet every Tuesday during 9:30-10:20 am in various location throughout the campus. The first semester of FY group is for acclimation to campus life and spiritual formation. The second semester is an introduction to the Formation Groups. Each student is allow to miss up to 4 groups meeting per semester.
Beginning Fall of 2012, we are introducing seniors/4th year students to mentorship. The purpose of senior mentorship is to connect seniors/4th year students with a faculty member, staff member, or local Pastor to receive challenge, encouragement, spiritual enrichment, and assistance in finding God’s direction in their lives.
Does service play a role in your education? We think so. Faith and service are an important part of your Hope experience.
