Heart of Hope – A Sanctuary for Women is dedicated to providing our young ladies a home in which to experience family living. Jerod and Stephanie Jessup are Heart of Hope’s fun-loving houseparents. The family models Christian living in its purest form -- out loud and in front for all to see.

With the fast pace of today’s family, eating together at the dining room table is a lost art, but not at Heart of Hope. Some of the best times are when everyone sits down to share all the day’s meals. While breakfast and lunch are prepared for the young ladies, the evening meal brings new and fun adventures as the girls are responsible for meal planning and cooking! Everyone gets a chance to cook their favorite meal.

Lucy Goodwin is our house assistant. Lucy comes along side the house parents to help them with the daily schedule of the home. This includes driving the residents to appointments, checking weekly bible study assignments and assisting them at The Hope Chest where they spend their merits.

At Heart of Hope one will find Jerod, Stephanie and Lucy doing what they love best; hanging around and being there when the girls need them!
