We were so blessed to have Jordyn St. Cyr take the stage at HopeFest '26. His music and message brought an incredible spirit of hope, faith, and encouragement to an already unforgettable night!

There's something powerful about an entire community coming together through music and worship. We can't wait to do it again next year!

What an incredible night of worship, music and community at HopeFest '26! We were blessed with and amazing performance from Consumed By Fire, bringing powerful worship and an unforgettable atmosphere.

And special thanks to Consumed By Fire for introducing the crowd to their special guest V. Rose.

We also have to give a big shout out to Ohio's very own celebrity Big Nut. What an awesome ministry he has! Traveling to raise money for scholarships! Good luck to everyone who bought a ticket for an opportunity to go to a Buckeye's game!

This year we kicked HopeFest off with a local Praise & Worship Band from Crossroads Church out of Mansfield. They brought the energy, the worship and a powerful message.

Talk about ENERGY....keeping everything moving for the day, was our MC Pastor Jeff Watson from The Chapel. Thank you for serving and helping create such a memorable event!

The Hope Center & HopeFest would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of Emma Caldwell.

Miss Emma faithfully volunteered countless hours at the Hope Center & the HopeFest and became our dedicated cook for many years. She may not have had much, but she gave everything she had to our Hope Center kids. Even while facing her own battles with cancer and ongoing health challenges, she continued to love and serve in the ways she could—always making sure our kids felt special, especially on their birthdays.

We are so grateful for the lasting impact she made on the lives of our children and throughout our community. Emma truly fought a good fight, and we find comfort in knowing she is now in the arms of Jesus.

You are deeply loved and will be greatly missed, Emma ❤️
