The Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle will be a refuge for those who struggle with homelessness; poverty; mental illness; and drug, alcohol, and sexual abuse and addiction. In the midst of what often seems like hopelessness and utter despair for so many on Capitol Hill, God reaches out in mercy. By His immeasurable grace, He offers love, answers, hope, healing, and freedom.

God has called His Church to be His instruments for this refuge of hope. He has called His disciples to love and minister to the “least of these”—those who are too often cast aside as “lost causes” or too messed up to even begin to help. In the eyes of God, all of His creation are precious in His sight. All are within His arm’s reach.

Through the Hope Center of Seattle (HCS) we will create an atmosphere of hope for those who seek real healing and freedom in their life. It will be a place for those who seek to leave their painful past behind. HCS will be a lighthouse on Capitol Hill—a source of light for those who choose to experience a New Beginning.

He said also to the one who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. [13] But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. [14] And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
Luke 14:12-14 (NRSV)

"And the King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'  "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;  for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;  I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'  "Then they themselves also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?'  "Then He will answer them, saying, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'  "And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Matthew 25:40-46 (NASB)

Our Mission Statement describes how we will accomplish our vision. You can learn how we plan on accomplishing our mission by reading Our Objectives. In order to create an environment of hope for those who are considering a New Beginning in their life, we have established some guidelines for those who visit and receive services from HCS.

There is a specific building in a strategic location that we are desiring to obtain. We can certainly use your help in achieving our goals. You may make donations and/or volunteer.
