Easter 2023

At New Hope Christian College, we don’t just like to just learn about glorifying God, we like to do it! We believe that the harvest is plentiful, and there is no better time than now to bring hearts and minds to the Lord.

Through our lab church, New Hope West, students are able to take the skills they learn and put them to work in the ministry field. This Easter, our students served with excellence and passion in every aspect of New Hope West, reaching almost 4,000 people who came to our six services!

NHCC offers a unique approach to ministry education that places handson learning at the center of what we do, and this Easter was no exception. From start to finish, our students not only performed in, but also helped to imagine our Easter service featuring four powerful dramatic presentations, five original videos filmed and edited by our very own students, and eleven musical numbers! It was a truly special weekend of evangelism, and NHCC students were at the center of the action, every step of the way.

In addition to serving on our Evangelism Team, our students were also deeply involved in every Experience team at New Hope West, such as the Shuttle Ministry, Kidz, Hospitality, and more! Part of what sets New Hope West apart is that every person who comes on Sunday isn’t just part of our congregation, they’re part of our family! Our Experience Team is an integral part of that, and our students had an incredible opportunity to put their education to work, touching the lives of every person who came through our doors on Easter!

We're thrilled to celebrate the fifty lives that God saved and the countless hearts he renewed at New Hope West this Easter. We're also ever grateful for the partnership between New Hope Church and College, which provides our students with an incredible ministry environment that prepares them to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus in our world!

“Easter at NHW was a transformative journey of cultivating deep-rooted relationships and doing ministry alongside friends and mentors. It provided the perfect platform to apply what I've learned in class and minister the best way I can, through serving!”

- Isaiah Rosander, Class of 2026
