February 2001, a small church started a food pantry to serve the physical hunger needs of people within the community. But, as time went on it was realized that there was an incredible need for emotional and spiritual help as well. As a result, Beacon of Hope was formed with the specific desire to not only feed the flesh but also the spirit. As Beacon of Hope emerged, it became evident that although the needs were great, many could not afford services that would meet their need, especially services centered on Scripture.
The Bible is clear when describing God's love and generosity. Scripture reflects God's love through His sacrificial giving. For us, the recipient, God's gift is free, no cost to us. The penalties we deserved have been paid through His love.
It is because of this unique gift given to us by our Savior, Jesus Christ, that Beacon of Hope does not charge for their services. We have freely received from God so that we may freely give back (Matthew 10:8b). All of our counseling services are provided by Master level trained and State licensed therapists. At no time do we charge our clients for the services they receive. We fully rely on God and trust that He will provide for the needs of our clients as well as the needs of Beacon of Hope.
"In as much as ye have done it unto one of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25:40
Our Statement of Faith ~
We are a Scriptural based ministry that believes that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. Our genuine love for God is then expressed through our service to others. We believe that God's Word is infallible, Holy and provides hope for every situation that one may face.
