Hope City in the Community: Together, We Make a Difference

At Hope City Church, we’re not just in Jacobsville; we’re a part of it. Our mission? To collaborate, not duplicate. We believe in joining hands with existing services and businesses to amplify our impact, listening intently to the needs of Jacobsville’s residents, families, and businesses.

Transitional Housing

Transitional Housing: Building Hope from the Ground Up

We dream of a Jacobsville where every family thrives in a healthy home. Embracing this vision, we’ve partnered with H.O.U.S.E (Housing Organization United Serving Evansville) for monthly meetings. These gatherings are a melting pot of ideas and experiences, fueling our journey toward launching “H.O.P.E Housing” (Helping Overcome Poverty in Evansville). Picture this: stable homes pulsing with community support and resources, a launchpad for those striving for a better life. We’re assembling a passionate team, ready to tackle the housing crisis head-on.

Early Education: Planting Seeds of Hope in our Community

Did you know early education can transform a community? That’s why we’re diving deep into this realm. Collaborating with the Dream Center and Building Blocks, we’ve birthed the H.E.L.P (Hope Early Learning Program), inaugurated at Hope City in October 2023. Our approach? Comprehensive care for each family, complete with a dedicated social worker. It’s more than education; it’s about nurturing the whole family, sewing the fabric of the community tighter.

Neighborhood Transformation

Neighborhood Transformation: More Than Just Words

Hope City believes in being the hands and feet in our neighborhood. From parks to sidewalks, food access to schools, we’re there. Transforming a neighborhood isn’t about pushing agendas; it’s about serving based on the community’s heartbeat. We’re here, listening and responding to the needs of Jacobsville, driven by a desire to spread God’s love.

Resource Connection: Bridging Gaps, Building Futures

In a community grappling with poverty and homelessness, Hope City stands as a bridge to resources and support. We’re active in community events like “Grill Out Day,” Trunk-or-Treat, and Easter egg hunts with J.A.C.C. (Jacobsville Area Community Corporations) and we support initiatives by J.N.I.A, (Jacobsville Neighborhood Improvement Association), Community One, Hands of Hope, and the Welborn Baptist Foundation. It’s about being present, being a part of the solution.

Hope City’s Part: Small Acts, Big Impacts

Our mission begins with the goodness of God, and it’s our guiding light. Sharing a smile, offering a free meal, or a simple hug can be life changing. That’s why our outreach events are so close to our heart. “Hope For Back-to-School” provides school supplies, haircuts, and meals. “Hope For Thanksgiving” offers warmth and nourishment with free Thanksgiving meals. “Crash The Parks” is all about spreading joy with candy, balloon animals, and love. And of course, our weekly “Pop-Up Grill” serves free hot lunches with open arms.
