All Gender Services

We pray, advocate, labor with and contend for a God-honoring vision of our city as it is meant to be: a place of peace, dignity, mutuality, relationship, prosperity and opportunity for all people. The mission of Jesus is the restoration of all of creation to the Father through faith. Thus, all our efforts, initiatives and programs seek to make Jesus and His Word known. We’re most interested in building relationships that ignite hunger and thirst in people to know and embrace the purpose for their lives in Christ Jesus. Some of BHITC’s efforts are more direct in these efforts, others are subtle. This mix of approaches is intentional and strategic.

EQUIP CITY MINISTRY LEADERS 

Transform 216 – an initiative of coaching and mentoring urban church planters.

Leaders in Faith Together (LIFT) –  a capacity-building initiative for faith-forward business entrepreneurs and nonprofit visionaries.

 

STRENGTHEN NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING

Good Neighbors & Co. (property management) - We are redeveloping blighted and foreclosed residential properties, restoring them to productive use. We’re bringing people of good faith and good will to the table in new ways in urban communities by creating affordable rentals as a responsible and responsive landlord and community partner.

 

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Instead of swooping in to save the day, community development from a Christian perspective is an approach that honors marginalized people as active participants in community renewal. Our holistic efforts include education enrichment, community gardening, and active collaboration with neighborhood leaders. 

 

SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

We believe pursuing the common good and business success go hand-in-hand. The results are greater glory to God and more opportunity for underestimated people.

Common Threads - Our first social enterprise, is to lead the thrift store market in Cleveland by offering an excellent shopping experience, quality employment and environmental stewardship.

Peripeti Home - High-quality candles and unique scents, showcasing the talent of female entrepreneurs and providing supportive employment for refugee women.

 

THE HOPE CENTER FOR REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS

Welcoming the refugees and immigrants among us points to their God-given dignity and our need for mutual relationships with diverse people. The Hope Center is much more than a place for operating programs – it gives refugees and immigrants a place to belong, where they become part of a larger “family” of newcomers. We partner with refugees and immigrants at The Hope Center to provide community connections, family mentorship, employment, immigration counsel, after-school enrichment and tutoring – as well as human connections for daily life.
