Hello, Haas Christian Fellowship!

It's a new school year and there is so much excitement in the air about what is to come--classes, social events, networking, career exploration, etc. We are also excited to see God alive and at work in our community.

As the semester continues, we will all face challenges. Our hope here at HCF is for each of us to grow in relationship with one another as brothers and sisters in Christ that, together, we can hold fast to the Lord.

Hebrews 4:14-16 - "Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
