Hope House. We have transformed our old parsonage into a home for homeless young women aged 18-24 who were homeless on the streets and without hope in the city of Knoxville. These young women have been connected to a strong Christ-centered community who are encouraging them; helping them to get job training, education, jobs; and who mentor them to be all God created them to be. They’re also volunteering at Magnolia Avenue UMC each week to help the less fortunate in our community.
Many thanks!
