Vigilant Hope, INC.

Our Core Values

Jesus-centered- we are committed to following the example of Jesus as a community and to honoring His teachings to love God and our Neighbor.

Listening- to the Holy Spirit, to our vulnerable neighbors, and each other so we can best seek mercy and justice for our city.

Relational- Everything we do should initiate or deepen relationship with God or between people from different walks of life. It is difficult to love someone you don’t know so we commit to creating spaces where relationships are formed.

Development-driven - We are committed to seeking solutions that bring complex threads together to restore our community and to be inviting the church to participate in that work. In a crisis, there is a time when immediate relief is needed, we then need to shift our partnership to development.

Church-focused- We partner with all types of organizations and individuals, but our first focus is equipping the local church to demonstrate God’s love by pursuing mercy and justice in their city.

Innovation- Our commitment is to never be bound by “what we’ve always done” but instead to listen and respond to what is most useful now. We will stay alert and as the needs of our community shift, we will adjust our programming and training accordingly.

Education - Often someone’s first step to loving someone experiencing poverty well is to learn what they are facing. Often we want to help but we just don’t know what helping looks like. All aspects of our work incorporate learning opportunities and putting people in proximity of needs.
