Faith and community find expression in many ways at Hope, not least of all together as students journey alongside one another and faculty and staff as they grow into a fuller understanding of what they believe and how it will guide their lives. At the school year’s final Gathering worship service each April, the connection — to one another, to a faith tradition that spans millennia — is symbolized by the “Rope of Hope,” a tangible reminder to the seniors whose time at the college will soon end of learning and ties that will endure long after graduation.
