Leadership

We believe that as Christians, we are called to lead with courage in Christ and a servants heart, demonstrating faith, humility, love and grace as we in turn follow the leadings of the Lord.

Discipleship

We seek to develop, equip and empower Christian leaders to follow God’s call on their lives and to walk with them as they walk with the Lord in caring for the hurting and vulnerable members of our community.

Stewardship

Testimonials

“Coming out of high school, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to do something practical in ministry. When I found Hope Mission’s program I was excited for the opportunity to do just that. I immediately fell in love with the community, the work and God, and was humbled by the new perspectives and skills it gave me in life.”

Kent Neufeld – Past Participant and Current Manager of Hope Mission’s Tegler Youth Centre

"It was such a special experience I had here. I didn't know what I signed up for as I didn't know much about inner city ministry, but it turned out to be greater than what I anticipated. I was able to have tangible experiences during my time in the program and it was a journey of self-discovery. I grew to love the people we serve, and I received more love than I could ever give back to them."

Minyoung Choi – Past Participant and Current Senior Manager of Women’s Programming & Recovery Programs at Hope Mission
