At Hope Network, we acknowledge the amazing – and sometimes unexplainable – power of faith in the overcoming journey.

And no matter a person’s religion or creed, it’s our job to make it part of the process—whenever that’s what they want.

Our pastors create opportunities for worship both directly, within Hope Network residential facilities, and indirectly, by linking individuals with disabilities or disadvantages to local faith communities of their choice where their gifts and talents can be best utilized.

Faith has always been at Hope’s foundation.

Our Christian roots are still growing today. It’s why our pastoral services team works to break down barriers, reach across them, and form relationships between churches and the people we serve. On any given day, you’ll find a Hope Network pastor meeting with a person we serve one-on-one, working with local churches, or raising money for one of our fundraising initiatives.

Serving 8,000+ individuals each year
