WHO WE ARE

 
 

Letter from the Pastor

Welcome to Rising Hope Mission Church, A United Methodist Congregation. Rising Hope is a safe place where you can gain spiritual and physical sustenance. We have several worship opportunities available and offer assistance through our Food Pantry, Rising Hope kitchen, Hope Closet, Hypothermia Shelter, and countless other need-based services. 

Rising Hope is a community that reflects life in the Kingdom of God. We are a family. Our home is your home. You don’t need to be a member here or at any church to gather in fellowship with us. We are committed to ministering in love to everyone and to building strong foundations and connections with our community along the Route One corridor.

At Rising Hope, we believe in supporting everyone on their individual path. We work with people at every stage of their journey. Love Unconditionally, Include Everyone, and Celebrate Life is at the core of what we hope you will experience when you come to Rising Hope Mission.

We are supported through an ever-growing community of volunteers, churches, and community support partners. The good news is that there is still room to grow with you! We hope you will come and visit us sometime soon.

Many Blessings,

Rev. Kameron M. Wilds, Lead Pastor
