Hope's Journey

Since its founding, the promise and vision of what Hope Village could be has served us well. People from our founding and supporting churches have given of their time and money. Others from the surrounding community have caught the vision and have provided Hope Village with a broad base of support. We embark on this campaign, “The Promise of Hope,” committed to being good stewards of the vision and confident that God will bless these efforts in the coming years.

In its ten years of operation, Hope Village has ministered to hundreds of residents and their families and has come to be regarded as an important community asset. But the process of building Hope Village into what it is today actually began much earlier:
