Hope Initiative mentoring and tutoring outreach ministry is an opportunity for us to provide one-to-one attention and shower God's love over families in challenging financial circumstances.  During a 10-week introductory course on Tuesday evenings, we teach that God loves us and created each of us with purpose.  If the family chooses to return to the program, tutoring, GED prep courses and various Bible study and life-skills classes are offered.

Hope Initiative Program Dates: Tuesdays, August 24 - November 16, 5:45 - 8:00 p.m.
Hope Initiative Introductory Classes: Tuesdays, September 14 - November 16, 5:45 - 8:00 p.m.
