Our Process
How is a House of Hope built?
You need a committed group, dedicated time, willingness to try some new things, and openness to what may emerge. Once you join the Houses of Hope community, you have access to Building Hope, the learning structure that grows to include your neighbors; a Coach to accompany you; and a community of other congregations for mutual development. It all starts in our community.
During the initial, one-year program, participants will learn to:
Have genuine love for who they are
Focus on the present
Feel less burdened
Ask different questions
What does a House of Hope look like?
- A place of joy and fulfillment over one of obligation and responsibility
- A community shaped by different abilities, where people share leadership
- A place known in the community and looked to in times of need or crisis — trusted in those tender moments to give hope to the entire community and not just those who are members
- A place for worship opportunities and community gatherings that happen both inside and outside the church building
- A place of deep listening among the members of the congregation, who are not entrenched in their assumptions and preconceived ideas
- A community of wholeness
- A congregation looking outward
- A place where people know hope for themselves and their communities
