The Humble Walk is in partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELCA), the Episcopal Diocese, and the Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA). While we hold official partnerships with these denominations, all are welcome to join!

The Humble Walk has dinner and worship every Sunday from 5-7pm at Hope Lutheran Church and Student Center located here. Join the discord to connect with students who carpool. All students are welcome to attend dinner, worship, or both!

We have a free, home cooked meal from 5-6pm and a casual, contemporary worship service from 6-7pm. On a typical Sunday that includes, singing, scripture, a sermon, prayer, and Holy Communion. We believe all are invited to partake in communion at God’s table, but it is not required.

Come dressed however is comfortable to you! Students where shorts and tshirts, casual dresses and polos, and everything in between.

The Humble Walk is a Christian organization that is LGBTQ+ affirming and affirming of women’s leadership. We believe in a Triune God (God, Jesus, and Spirit), the death and resurrection of Jesus, and that we are saved by grace, not by our own acts.
