Ruston, a friendly southern town of approximately 22,000, is home to parks, lakes and world-class mountain biking trails.
Camp Pastor
Jared Darby
Jared is a passionate leader who has been serving at City Hope Church for the last 8 years. A Houston native, Jared was born and went to high school in Missouri City, Texas. He loves Texas, but after graduating from the University of Mobile in 2014, Alabama has felt like home. His drive and commitment to serving the local church is superseded only by his love for his wife Haley, his two kids, and the people he is fortunate enough to serve alongside.
Worship Leader
Metro Music
Metro Music is a worship team based in Houston, TX that leads a weekly gathering called “Metro” at Houston’s First Baptist Church. “Metro” is a gathering of the young adults of Houston to see the beauty of Jesus and seek to know Him personally.
For the last 5+ years, this team has been able to witness God moving in the lives of young adults in our city and beyond.

EAT
The cafeteria received a major renovation in the summer of 2010. The cafeteria has an all-you-can-eat buffet. Students receive a swipe card with a per day balance they can use in the food court. The food court is partially housed in the same building (student union building) as the cafeteria, and the other section is in nearby Tolliver Hall (home to the camp office). In the food court in the student union building, students can choose from Chick-fil-A, home-cooked options, snack shop with a la carte options and a deli sandwich/wrap station. The food court in Tolliver Hall offers students McAlister’s Deli, Java City Coffee, nachos and pizza by the slice.
