OUR
MISSION
The mission of Illinois House of Hope is to offer hope and help to hurting teens and their families through Biblical counseling, mentoring, residential education, and prayer with the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. As hurts are healed, relationships are restored, and families are reconciled.
OUR
VISION
Our vision for Illinois House of Hope is to build a
campus that will eventually include 3 homes, a creative arts center, a greenhouse, and a 24/7 prayer room at the base of our lighthouse tower. The residential education homes will provide teens a loving environment, an education, Christian
counseling, and spiritual guidance. After their stay at the House of Hope, the healed
teens would be restored back to their families and community.
We believe that God has given us
a vision to help hurting teens in our communities. "BUILDING
HOPE TOGETHER" involves you, our churches, and our community to come
together to build the Illinois House of Hope.
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic, or national origin in our programs or services.
