An established campus assembly/registered student organization. Through weekly gatherings and individual follow ups (Sunday Service, Co-Ed whole group assemblies, small, gender-specific connect groups, nights of praise and worship, community service efforts, and whole group community outings), this campus plant is designed to encourage students to follow the teachings of Jesus in their daily lives, and become actively involved in using their gifts to serve on campus and in a local church community. This component of Faith Walkers Outreach aims to build and funnel young, equipped, energetic college students to continue the work of spreading the Gospel by devoting themselves to service in the local church and community.

The women's connect group of Hope At the Gathering. With a focus on women and their unique way of viewing the Gospel, marriage, character, self-worth, purpose and other topics, this group serves as a safe place for ladies to discuss topics that may not be relevant or appropriate in a co-ed setting. Her Faith emphasizes the woman’s new life in Christ, dispelling any former means of self-definition the students may have come to the group with. This group serves as reinforcement for the teachings at the main Hope At the Gathering Bible study and gathers once a month.

The men’s connect group of Hope at the Gathering. It focuses on men and their unique way of viewing the Gospel, marriage, character, self-worth, purpose and other topics. This group serves as a safe place for men to discuss topics that may not be relevant or appropriate in a co-ed setting. Men’s Fireside emphasizes the man’s new life in Christ, dispelling any former means of self-definition the students may have come to the group with. Men’s Fireside serves as reinforcement for the teachings at the main Hope At the Gathering Bible study and gathers once a month.

These less structured settings provide the time and space for the Hope at the Gathering family to engage in meals and fun activities outside of campus. Relationships are central to accountability and growth in the faith. Outings build trust within the HATG community and allow students and HATG Core teams to bond outside of bible-centered discourse. Students are allowed to showcase their personalities, interests, skills, commonalities, and differences in these spaces.

A space provided once a month for students to participate in corporate praise and worship. The aim is to have built relationships with students who are also musicians, allowing them to express their love for Jesus through musicianship. The space is open to passersby as well, and is dedicated to singing, prayer, and fellowship.

In a public setting, students gather in corporate prayer to pray over their campus and any pressing issues in their own lives and communities. The discipline of prayer is emphasized here, as well as the expectation of proof when God’s word is spoken back to him in faith. This, like Hope At the Gathering, creates space for testimonies, which will encourage more prayer and yield more proof. Students are prompted to invite others to prayer who may not even associate with Hope At the Gathering. This component alone strengthens student camaraderie and promotes oneness across campus. The aim is for prayer to become a pillar of the institution itself. The HATG Core team should prayerfully expect midweek prayer to reach everyone from the students and professors to janitors and administrators.

While students are being transformed by the Gospel message, built up in the teachings of Jesus, and consistently engaging in fellowship with their HATG family, they are challenged to put their new life to action through service to the community. Students who gravitate toward helping children and families are encouraged to join the HATG team as they frequently travel to local communities to meet the needs of families and children. This is the stage on which students’ understanding of the teachings of Christ will shine.
