HOPE Ministries seeks to help individuals
explore patterns that may have developed
over their lifetime and provide opportunities
to allow Jesus to bring healing and hope
to their lives in fresh ways.
New Office!
We are grateful for the way God has provided a main office for the ministry, just one block from our cottages and original location.
This office building includes a reception area, waiting room, and three counseling offices.
Farewell
To Arlen & Gloria Mast
Special appreciation goes to Arlen and Gloria for ten years of serving on the HOPE Ministries Board. Thank you for investing and giving of yourselves in this way.
We will miss you!

Counseling Program
HOPE Ministries uses the Caring For the Heart model of counseling.
This model seeks to understand and care about spiritual and emotional issues
and apply Biblical solutions at a heart level.
We are not professional counselors, but Biblical/pastoral counselors.

Marital or Personal Enrichment
HOPE Ministries offers counseling
to both singles and couples.
The typical format is 5 three-hour sessions over the span of three days.

If you have already had personal or marital sessions and are desiring input as you continue the journey, we highly recommend coming back for 2-5 follow-up sessions.
