In Paul’s letter to the Galatians he wrote, “bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” We take these words seriously and at Hope we want to care for you when you are carrying a burden. When life gets hard, loneliness and isolation compound the pain. Hope can break the isolation and bring the healing power of Jesus into your life. We do this through Stephen Ministers, Visitation Ministry, Prayer, and support groups.
The Living Free Insight Groups and Concerned Persons Groups at Hope are closed.
