Fundraising Goal

We are currently working toward a Phase One fundraising goal of $600,000, which will help us acquire and prepare the building and sustain the ministry during this transition.

  • Sustain on-going work at Compassionate Hands.

  • Additional staff.

  • Mechanical and system upgrades as well as code compliance, safety and security.

  • Fund roof repairs.

  • This funding would cover the down payment for our building.

WE’RE BUILDING A PATHWAY, NOT JUST PROVIDING A PLACE TO STAY.

The mission is to provide men with:

Christ-Centered Community. Safe and Stable Housing. Accountability. Life-Skills and Employment Support. Care Coordination. Christian Discipleship. Pathways toward Independent Living.

Housing Pathways

More than just providing a roof.

The Hearn House will create an exit from homelessness and an entry to stability and lasting transformation.

TIER ONE

Providing a seasonal winter shelter program.

TIER TWO

Providing a stable housing program for both men and women.

TIER THREE

Providing permanent housing, sacred settlements, and a church-developed community housing network.

The mission of Hearn House is to provide a Christ-centered pathway for men rebuilding their lives after substance abuse, incarceration, homelessness, or other life-altering circumstances.

Through safe housing, supportive community, accountability, and discipleship, we help men move from instability toward independence and lives of purpose. 

  • In 2012, Gale Hearn and Larry Locke saw a need in our community and responded with compassion. Through their prison outreach ministry at College Hills Church of Christ, they recognized that men returning from incarceration needed more than a place to sleep. They needed someone to believe in them. They needed guidance, accountability, friendship, and a Christ-centered community willing to walk alongside them as they rebuilt their lives.

    What began as a simple act of seeing their neighbors became the Hearn House.

Gale and Larry saw the person behind the circumstances and offered hope when others might have offered judgment. We are deeply grateful for the foundation they’ve laid and are committed to carrying this legacy forward.

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

-Jesus

This is a legacy worth celebrating.
