It is easy for me to feel lonely when I am away from my friends.  I like it that HCM helps make sure that I stay connected and helps me learn about God in fun ways.

HCM Participant

Discover. Engage. Thrive.

At Hope Centre Ministries, we are dedicated to providing a welcoming space where individuals with disabilities can explore their faith, build meaningful connections, learn new things, and serve their community. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to address the critical needs of community and belonging for people with disabilities while fostering spiritual growth and personal development.

Our Programs

Join us every month for a heartwarming Sunday afternoon event at Hope Centre Ministries. “HCM Community Sundays” bring individuals of all abilities together for a special gathering that nourishes the soul and fosters community.

What to Expect:

  • Faith Enrichment: Each gathering features a time of faith learning, providing opportunity for spiritual growth and reflection.
  • Music: Group singing, and music uplifts and connects us on a profound level. It is a fun way of celebrating both faith and togetherness.
  • Moments of Prayer: We understand how important it is for individuals to feel heard and listened to. While we offer whole group prayers, we also have a prayer station available for 1:1 prayer opportunity. These times offer hope, gratitude, and support.
  • Interactive Fellowship: After time in the sanctuary, we transition to a time of intentional fellowship, where everyone can engage in hands-on activities that often come with a take-home component. It’s a chance to bond, learn, and create cherished memories.

Upcoming Gatherings

Stay up to date with our “HCM Community Sundays” by checking our calendar for details on the next gathering. We can’t wait to share these meaningful moments with you and create lasting connections within our community.

  • Inclusivity: Our virtual format removes transportation and staffing barriers, making Bible study accessible to more individuals than ever before. It is ideal for individuals who experience social anxiety in group settings.
  • Small Group Dynamics: We intentionally keep our groups small to ensure that participants have a comfortable and personalized experience, free from overwhelming numbers.

Friendship from Home is the perfect way to stay connected with like-minded individuals, all from the comfort and convenience of your own home.

Building Community Beyond Day Programs

We understand that there are many individuals with disabilities who may not be part of an organized day program but still yearn for meaningful connections. Having something to look forward to on our calendars brings purpose and meaning to our days, creating positive rhythms of connection that contribute significantly to our overall well-being.

At Hope Centre Ministries, we are committed to fostering these connections, which is why we host our “Mid-Week Meets” every second week. These meetups take place at various locations, such as parks, malls, and other public spaces, depending on the season. It’s a time for genuine connection, engaging in fun theme-based activities, and sharing life updates. We also recognize the power of prayer, and it’s an integral part of our gatherings as we support one another through shared prayer concerns.

What to Expect:

  • Scheduled Events: You can find information about our upcoming “Mid-Week Meets” on the HCM calendar, including dates, times, and locations.
  • Accessibility: We strive to ensure that our events are accessible to all. Any special instructions for booking Transit Plus or taxis will be provided, and we consider accessibility when choosing our locations.
  • Welcoming Atmosphere: Our dedicated HCM staff arrives half an hour before the official start time to warmly welcome you and reserve tables to ensure there’s plenty of room for everyone.
  • BYO Food: While lunch or snacks are not provided, we supply all the materials needed for our engaging activities. Feel free to bring your own food (or plan to purchase) during our meetups.

Join us for “Mid-Week Meets” to hang out with wonderful people, build a supportive community, and create lasting connections. We look forward to sharing these enriching experiences with you.

HCM staff will be at the location ½ hour prior to official start time to be on the look out for you. They will also reserve tables so that there will be room for you.

Come hang out with people and build community.

Anchored: Your Path to Spiritual Connection

Anchored is a series of video devotions designed to make it easy for individuals to engage in meaningful spiritual practices at times that suit them best. Each video in this series includes a short demonstration that explores key biblical themes. The goal is to support the daily habit of connecting with God’s word and experiencing a deep sense of spiritual health and connection.

Why Regular Meditation Matters:

Regular meditation on God’s word is not just a practice; it’s a transformative journey. Here’s why it matters:

  • Spiritual Connection: Through meditation, we establish and strengthen our connection with the divine, fostering a deep and enduring relationship with God.
  • Inner Peace: Meditation offers a pathway to inner peace, helping us navigate life’s challenges with a calm and centered spirit.
  • Spiritual Health: Spiritual practices promote a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
  • Community: shared practices, like Anchored, create a sense of community.

Explore our Anchored series and start your journey to deeper spiritual connection today.
