MOVING FORWARD

Since then, Hope House has grown to provide faith-based education, transportation, workforce development, addiction recovery, and financial empowerment programs with the mission to alleviate physical and spiritual poverty through gospel restoration. As a 14-year-old organization, our work has only begun. As our city grows in number, the needs of our neighbors grow, and we must grow too. We have a vision to expand our current ministries to include counseling, family visitation, medical services, more classes, and affordable and transitional housing.

We believe that God can break the cycle of poverty and transform our neighbors’ lives, and he has invited us to be a part of this Kingdom work. The root of poverty lies in broken relationships with others, with ourselves, with creation, and most importantly, with God. When we walk with a person through the process of restoring his or her relationship with God, we inevitably witness the restoration of relationships with family members; the restoration of that person’s dignity, value, and self-worth; and we are given the opportunity to help them break the cycle of material poverty by overcoming addiction, escaping homelessness, securing employment, gaining financial stability, becoming a better parent, and so much more.
