The Mt. Hope Market is a reflection of God’s heart for people — a space where dignity, compassion, and community come together. Our Mt. Hope neighborhood is full of faithful, kind, and welcoming individuals. For those walking through seasons of financial hardship, this market offers access to food, baby items, toiletries, and household essentials — all at no cost, and without shame.
As a church, we come together as the hands and feet of Jesus (1 Corinthians 12:27), not just to serve, but to see — to shop mindfully and consider not only what our homes may need, but what someone else’s table might lack. Need is not a label — it's a moment. And in that moment, we get to embody the love of Christ, who meets every one of us with grace.

Saints, Sinners & Sneakers is a ministry grounded in the love and humility of Jesus, dedicated to providing socks and shoes to those walking through life without a stable place to rest. Many in our community spend their days on foot — often unhoused or navigating difficult seasons — and we believe that their feet, just like their stories, matter deeply to God.
Rooted in Isaiah 52:7 — “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news” — this ministry is about more than footwear. It’s about dignity, comfort, and reminding people they are seen and valued.
We joyfully receive new or gently used shoes and clean socks because we believe that people deserve good things, even if those things come at no cost to them. Every pair given is an opportunity to reflect God’s heart — not out of pity, but out of love
“Our House” is a home of hope and stability for Haitian refugees — a place of rest, dignity, and belonging. As families and individuals seek to rebuild their lives in a new country, we believe, as followers of Jesus, that everyone deserves a safe place to land and the opportunity to flourish.
Through this ministry, we provide a rented home at a significantly reduced cost to Haitian refugees as they work, provide for their families, and pursue long-term stability. Rooted in the heart of Leviticus 19:34 — “The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself” — we open our doors in love, not out of charity, but out of solidarity and shared humanity.
This is more than housing — it's a declaration that no one is forgotten, and everyone deserves a chance to build a future filled with dignity and hope.
