catching the vision
Teaching Youth the Truth of God's Word. Affirming Their Value. Equipping Them for Daily Life.
Children of Hope (COH) serves some of the most at-risk children and youth in our community through Christ-centered mentoring, leadership development, educational support, and relationship-based programs. Through caring mentors and meaningful experiences, we help young people discover hope, purpose, and a future filled with possibility.
How We Do This Pratically
Currently, COH carries out this vision of "Teaching the truth of God's Word, Affirming the Value of Our Youth, and Equipping Youth for Daily Life" through practical programs like our Friday Night Bible Studies, Mentoring & Accountability, Summer Programs & Incentives, College & Career Planning.
Expanding Our Services
To fully realize our mission, we are in need of a permanent building on our land. The new COH home we envision will provide a place for this ministry to grow and serve even more children and families for generations to come. It will also allow us to expand our programs to offer after school tutoring on site, more intensive college and career planning, as well as an ultimate goal of launching a private christian school that will be accessible to the youth we serve.
Where are we in the vision?
In order to move forward...
In June of 2005, Children of Hope purchased 12.95 acres for our permanent home. In 2006, we broke ground and began clearing the land. In 2008, we consulted engineers and building architects to begin planning. We are waiting on God's provision to move forward and see the fulfillment of our vision. While in waiting, God has provided funds to pay off the property debt and is getting us ready for the final steps. But, most importantly... He is teaching us patience, endurance, and increasing our faith.
