Hope for the Soul Ministries
A place of worship where people find hope and community as we struggle well… together.
WHY A LIGHTHOUSE & ANCHOR?
The basis of what Hope for the Soul Ministries does and our church represents is summed up in our logo of a Lighthouse and an Anchor.
Faith tells us that we are called to serve—to meet people IN their pain, their circumstances, and their struggle—much like a Lighthouse would do for any boat in a storm. People need to not feel invisible in their hardships and have a safe space to expose and process through what needs the most healing. They need people willing to cry with them, instead of aiming to take the tears away. People need to learn to struggle well, not to get rid of the struggle–because life is full of inevitable and unavoidable struggles that come and go, no matter how hard we try to eliminate them.
"I can honestly say that Hope for the Soul has given us “Hope” where none existed. We were living in daily survival mode without any way out. Our lives our still far from perfect but we now have lives that are worth living and a place where we can go to help us every step along the way." - D
WHO WE ARE
We are
HEART
Every moment we are mentoring, praying, listening, encouraging, and coming alongside someone right where they are. Everything we do comes from a place of showing we really do care.
We are OUTREACH
We pour out into the existential needs of the community without wanting anything in return, including recognition or praise. We will unreservedly serve the needs of those around us, so no one feels invisible or disregarded.
We are
PEOPLE
We bring people together in a space where everyone can be who they really are, not who they were taught and wired to be. The expectations, facades, and status quo are washed away. We are loved individually and collectively just as we are.
We are
EVER-CHANGING
We get to the roots underneath the surface of symptoms and struggles to help individuals through their pain. What once felt like a lost battle and a never-ending cycle of feeling defeated, helpless, invisible, and flawed, becomes a continual journey of perseverance.
Hope for the Soul began as the faith story of David and Debbie Siniscalchi
In the spring of 1993, Debbie and I discovered a new faith in God, different from our upbringing. Applying Biblical principles transformed our family life, strengthening our marriage, and stabilizing our home. Despite my permanent disability and a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia in 1999...

"For many years, Hope for the Soul has been changing lives all around the area. It's very cool to see how this organization has grown and continues to grow - especially in a time where other faith-based organizations are on the decline. God has blessed us through you all! Thanks for doing what you do and never change your ways. Five stars!"
