New Hope envisions a transformed community where individuals and families are safe, strong, self-sufficient, and experiencing God’s grace; where neighbors are reconciled racially, socially, and economically; and where people put aside their differences to work together to meet needs, affirm strengths, and develop leaders. Through the love of Christ, they build restorative relationships with individuals and families in our community, empowering them to move from crisis to self-sufficiency. New Hope’s growing ministry demanded a functional commercial space to facility their many programs. After 9 months, totaling in 42 volunteer Saturdays, Servant’s Heart transformed their 1,500 sq.ft., 2-floor, residential home into a 3,500 sq.ft., commercial headquarters, including the addition of a third floor and newly functional basement.

Midland Park Christian Reformed Church

by Christina Mendez

183 Godwin Avenue, Midland Park, NJ 07432, United States (US)

Midland Park Christian Reformed Church seeks to provide a place for meaningful worship, education, and support, as God uses His church to strengthen the faith of those who have already accepted Christ as Savior and Lord and bring the message of salvation to those who do not know Jesus as their Savior and the Lord of their lives. No matter where people are on their spiritual journey, they hope to provide an environment that makes them feel like home. Midland Park Christian Reformed Church’s parsonage was in rough shape and in dire need of a remodel. Having a desire to see this building restored and put to good use for God’s kingdom, but having no specific ministry to use it, they’re partnered with Servant’s Heart, allowing us to fill it with our vision.

by Christina Mendez

6 E 20th St, Paterson, NJ 07513, United States (US)

In 2014, Iglesia Bautista Central suffered a fire that destroyed their building. The church began rebuilding as soon as possible, only to come to a screeching halt when the funds ran out.
