The Program
Not A Self-Help Program.
A God-Help Program.
Developed by Rick Carter Jr., Ph.D., H.O.P.E. is a tool for pastors — equipping churches to reach addicts and their families with the power of God’s Word.
"My whole life it seems like I've been telling the people who love me, 'I'm sorry.' The H.O.P.E. program has shown me how to stop being sorry and start living a victorious life through Christ."
H.O.P.E. Graduate Tucson, CAWhat Makes HO.P.E. Different?
Designed so that independent Baptist churches of any size with any budget can reach their communities.
Adaptable Format
You can do anything from a full, weekly meeting with a designated H.O.P.E. director to one-on-one discipleship with the materials, or use it in an addictions home ministry. H.O.P.E. adapts as God leads you in your church ministry.
No Startup Costs
No registration fees or monthly dues. Period. If you find H.O.P.E. to be a blessing, a one-time donation or even a reoccurring gift to help with the hosting and maintaining of the H.O.P.E. website and curriculum is greatly appreciated.
Free Regional Training
There are several regional training conferences hosted by churches across the nation. You can also contact the church office to schedule an exclusive step-by-step training seminar for your people to learn how to implement the program.
Free Printable Curriculum
Use the H.O.P.E. program with your own printed materials. Print files are available for free download in the store once registered and approved. Professionally produced materials are also available for those who wish to give their program a sense of legitimacy.
