The 1960 Hope Center is a 501(c)(3) organization ministering to adults experiencing homelessness. This resource center for the unemployed and homeless is dedicated to providing basic necessities and a pathway back to a productive lifestyle. 1960 Hope Center has served more than 1,200 individuals in the first two years of being open. Currently, almost 50 people per day are provided services such as showers, laundry, haircuts, clothing, breakfast, lunch, incentive life skills classes, AA, Bible study, counseling, ID and housing support, and more. With the help of caseworkers, RN’s, social workers, clergy, and a devoted team of volunteers, people are finding jobs, housing, mental health and rehabilitation help, and a restoration of hope. 1960 Hope Center is working to be a solution for the homeless issue in northwest Houston.

The ancient Greek city of Corinth was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC. It was rebuilt about 100 years later as a commercial complex and center for cult activity. The Apostle Paul visited there on his second missionary journey, planting a church with the help of Aquila and Pricilla. Many of the converts came from cultic backgrounds, leading to conflicting beliefs and practices.
Paul’s letters to the church in Corinth sought to address many of these issues, some of which are prevalent in today’s society, with the goal of producing a healthy church. Our study of 1 Corinthians will seek to unlock these Biblical truths and identify applications for today.
We plan to meet on Thursdays at 11:30 am. Contact Stuart Holland for additional information.
