We are truly humbled and honored that you have selected Residing Hope as your Mission of the Month for February. Residing Hope? Yes, that’s right! After years of thoughtful consideration, we rebranded on March 16, 2024, to a name that we believe better reflects who we are and all that we do.

Founded in 1908 as an orphanage in Enterprise, Florida, Residing Hope, previously known as The Florida United Methodist Children’s Home, has evolved into a multifaceted organization with significant depth and breadth. We support children through two residential campuses (Enterprise and Madison) and provide Independent Living services in Enterprise. Our community-based services include a foster care program that serves children across four counties and a Montessori School in Enterprise. Additionally, we offer outpatient therapeutic counseling to children and families in ten counties.

Some highlights of our organization include our Equine Therapy program at the Madison Youth Ranch, which consistently makes a profound impact on young lives, encouraging them to open up to their counselors and others. This form of therapy has led to numerous transformed lives, confessions of faith in Christ, and baptisms symbolizing new beginnings! Our Spiritual Life Team on the Enterprise campus celebrates youths that made the brave decision to step out in faith and were baptized this past year. Furthermore, some of our youths began weekly piano lessons and performed in their first recital, while several others collaborated to write three original songs that we now incorporate into our Sunday worship!

We could not accomplish anything without your inspiring partnership with us. The continuing consistent support of the local church is the backbone of our ministry. Thank you!
