Hope House Montgomery seeks to move kids and youth toward their potential by coming together with community and fun, laughter and conversation, activities and food, personal and communal development, old and young, and love. Love with a capital “L.” Real.Crazy.Love and all in the name of Jesus.
Hope House Montgomery will be a place where humans, kids and adults alike, are known, respected and loved.

A registered 501(c)3, Hope House Montgomery was founded by Candace Cain in 2020.
Hope House Montgomery’s home base is in the Highland Park area where we live and serve in the neighborhood. Candace lives at Hope House, along with two college-aged interns.

Previously, Candace volunteered at Hope House Detroit in Michigan as the after-school reading program director. Here, she witnessed firsthand this ministry’s impact on the neighborhood by seeking to love their neighbors like Jesus.

We are trying to follow Jesus. We are living, playing and serving together in order to represent Him but also in order to know Him better. He is not only in us. He is in our community and was here before we ever came. We are looking for Him in the many faces of our neighbor, inside and outside our house. We ask to see Him at work so we can join Him.

Hope House isn’t a place. It isn’t a building, a neighborhood, a street or even a ministry. It’s simply God’s real, radical love unleashed in people. Crazy love. God’s people. It is love overflowing into the streets, free, unbounded by walls of doubt and self-imposed limits; unchained from prejudice and intolerance.
