Rising Hope ministers in the name of Christ to the spiritual and practical needs of the most at-risk people on the Route 1 Corridor south of Alexandria. Our members come from all walks of life including the many broken, homeless and destitute we are called to serve. We strive to be welcoming and empowering of all, as we offer the living waters of the Gospel to those most thirsty for healing.
