Bethany Homes

Located 14km east of Wetaskiwin, Bethany Homes is situated on 140 beautiful acres. Bethany Homes is a Hope Mission ministry offering opportunities for gardening. Making this program available to local schools and groups, we hope to partner with our community in delivering a support service for vulnerable children and youth.

Horses of Hope at Bethany Homes exists to develop character in the lives of youth in the Wetaskiwin and Edmonton area. Hope Mission desires to not only offer youth a safe environment to improve their horsemanship skills but also to build character and learn a foundation of faith. As these young people expand their thinking in regard to themselves, others, and God, they will be equipped with the tools to positively contribute to their families and their community.

Horse Programs

In the spring and fall, each session is 8 weeks, students come to Bethany Homes to develop their horsemanship skills. Along with their riding skills, students also develop their knowledge of horse tack and care for the health of their horse.

Camp

For 7 weeks in the summer, we have 24 campers come to Bethany Homes where they learn to ride horses, play field games, go on hikes, do gardening, learn Bible stories and much more.

In all our programs our staff seek to love and care for each student for who they are and what they are going through in life. Our desire is that the love of Jesus, experienced through our staff and environments, will affect each student and family by instilling hope and purpose for each life.

Food Hamper

Every month we deliver a large frozen meal to the general community to help relieve some financial pressure. Throughout the year we collaborate with local schools and other community organizations to host dinners. These dinners function to develop a greater sense of community and connect as well as general food support for those who need it.

School Lunches

Every week, our Bethany Homes kitchen team and Camrose kitchen team provide breakfasts and lunches for over 25 schools in the area. These meals enable students to have hope for their future as behavior issues decrease and energy to learn increases.
