Jacob Duran has been involved with dorm worship since his freshman year. Now, as a sophomore, he is the Director of Combined Dorm Worship and Spiritual Residence Assistant for Newton Hall. In the past years, each residence hall at PUC hosted its own dorm worship. Ive also enjoyed the even smaller, more intimate hall worship for Newton.

And if structured sessions from Campus Ministries arent your thing, no worries. There are cozy on-campus prayer spaces where you can sit, think, or just breathe. These places offer modern fitness equipment and spaces for group activities. Seriously, the sauna alone is a game-changer! Sundays are my swimming days.

When I walked onto Hope’s campus the summer before my senior year of high school, I could feel it was different than the other schools I’d toured. If I go somewhere on campus or downtown, I typically run into a few people I know and a few I don’t. a photo from my first visit to Hope in August 2021 1.

Students can sign up with Campus Ministries and travel on weeklong trips over spring break where they are able to be immersed in a new culture, have their worldviews expanded, serve in new ways, and build community with one another. Immersion trips are one of my favorite opportunities at Hope. Our team and the chapel we built!

President Scogin does exactly this– even at similar small colleges, it’s rare to have a president that lives on campus with his family, knows many of his students’ names, and eats in the dining hall with everyone else. Last Halloween, all of campus was even invited to Trick or Treat at Scogin’s house.

Views at Camp Geneva during individual prayer time at the Campus Ministries Leadership Retreat I arrived at Hope for my freshman year, and had a roommate named Natalie.

Many of us attend Campus Ministries services, like Chapel and the Gathering, but a fewer number of us are involved in a local church. Maybe we don’t want to leave campus. Pillar Church is a beautiful community of college students and families. Holland is the land of a thousand churches. Maybe we just want to sleep in.

Typically, I have meetings or touch base with other campus ministries staff before chapel. After chapel, I typically have lunch with someone on campus.

It was the first time I truly had to trust God with my future. I was thriving at school, and yet, Freshman year didn’t go without its hard nights of feeling lonely, misunderstood, and homesick.

How much downtime you have definitely depends on the campus job you have, but for me, the mailroom has been a good balance. One more thing to consider… Working an on-campus job specifically means you usually are not scheduled on campus-wide breaks, and your bosses also understand that school ultimately is a priority.
