A Heart for Northern Virginia
Northern Virginia (NOVA) makes up 1/3 of Virginia’s population and is the second fastest growing region in the nation. We live in an area where the needs of its people are great.
It is our desire to go out and serve others at their point of need. God has called us to unleash the hope of Jesus on our local community boldly in the next phase of Hope for NOVA’s ministry.
To do that, we must partner together and embrace an expanded vision focused on normal people living on mission in our community, being the hands and feet of Jesus day in and day out, and serving the least of these among us. We’ve been called to work as a team, under Christ, transforming lives and practically meeting the needs of our neighbors.
The HOPE for NOVA Vision
We are committed to loving every part of NOVA, including the communities that are most overlooked and under-resourced. We strive to serve the most pressing physical and spiritual needs in our area while providing a training ground to equip future leaders.
HOPE Houses
We envision people living on mission in low income neighborhoods, in homes provided by Hope for NOVA partners, caring for and serving the people around them.
These homes will provide the community:
- A Safe Place and support for Families, Single Mothers & their Children
- A Neighborhood Food Pantry & Clothing Closet
- After School Programs, Tutoring & ESOL Classes
- Small Group Bible Studies
HOPE Centers
We envision a multi-use facility that will be used every day of the week to serve the needy and underprivileged, tutor children, provide counseling, and be a launching point for life transforming ministry.
HOPE Centers will offer the community:
- A place where people can come, share a coffee & build community
- A large central space for events & recreation
- After-school tutoring programs
- A Community Food Pantry & Clothing Closet
- Host Discipleship groups & worship gatherings.
Communities of HOPE
We envision Communities of HOPE throughout NOVA, where people can get away to receive healing and enrichment.
Communities of HOPE are dedicated to:
- Providing shelters and places where people come for an extended period of time to receive emotional, spiritual and physical healing through licensed counseling and social work programs.
- Providing environments for personal and professional development including a School of Leadership, and various practical training opportunities.
