Hope House Detroit

Hope House Detroit A home where youth in Detroit can go after school, on weekends or on summer days to be in community with others. real. crazy. love. In the name of Jesus.

Hope House Detroit is a blending of community and fun, laughter and conversation, activities and food, personal and communal development, old and young, and love. A place where people, kids and adults alike, are known, respected and loved. Our vision is to encourage and accompany children and young people toward their potential

Hope House Detroit was founded in 2010 by Gary and Becky Gentry, soon after they joined Hope Community Church in Detroit. Their love for the community, coupled with a life-long passion for the encouragement of children and youth toward their potential, led to cherished relationships with young people that became Hope House Detroit: a community center for kids. We strive to be a highly relational, process-focused ministry where we journey alongside kids in very intentional ways. Our strategy is to walk together; talk together, play together; and pray together. At Hope House, we run on the power of human connection to change the world for all of us–student AND teacher. Relationship, via Jesus, is the foundation of our marathon…together.

Behind the scenes, God is moving. 🤎

"What we are doing at Hope House is way more powerful than we’re telling you…"

Our staff and board came together last week for an evening of worship, Scripture, and sacred seeking as He ushers us into the seasons ahead.

Something special happens when we come together and seek Him.

No matter what happens, it doesn’t change that I am…

This week at Girls Club, we talked about identity and uniqueness, and how no matter what happens, there are things that remain true about who we are.

Smart. Kind. Peaceful. Beautiful. Creative. Brave. And so much more.

These are words the girls chose for themselves. 💛

We’re so grateful to be able to walk alongside these girls each week as they grow, learn, and discover more about who God created them to be.

Now, take some time to ask yourself:

No matter what happens, it doesn’t change that I am ______.
