Founded in 1968, Hope Children's Home has rescued nearly 5,000 children between the ages of 2 and 18. Most of these children have been discarded, abused, unwanted, or orphaned. Some of them have faced life situations that left them a little off track. Our purpose at Hope Children's home is to share Christ with the children and mold them into Biblically educated members of our future society.
Our home is located in Tampa, Florida on 45 beautifully wooded acres of land. We have dormitories for the boys and girls that can house a total of 80 children. Hope Christian School is also located on our property and is accredited by the state of Florida, providing a private, quality, Christian education to each of our children, Nursery through 12th grade.
Hope Children’s Home receives no State or Federal funding and is entirely faith supported by churches, private individuals, clubs, and organizations. This faith is passed on to the children as they see God provide our every need. The children live in a family atmosphere with house parents who are on call twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to give guidance and encouragement.
For over 36 years, Hope Children’s Home has taken children in and tried to make a difference in their very impressionable lives. We feel that God has called us to help rebuild the broken lives of these children and to build the bridge, when possible between home, parent, and child. The rewards of our labor are the thousands of young people across the country who are now productive adults raising their own children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
