Hope for the Inner City is a merger of two faith-based organizations with a shared history of helping people trapped in poverty and despair.
For 37 years Inner City Ministries reached the poor through mercy ministry and youth programs. For 11 years Hope for Chattanooga moved many of these same people from dependency to self-sufficiency. Both nonprofits, separately launched by New City Fellowship pastor Randy Nabors, merged in 2007.
Today, Hope for the Inner City partners with churches and other organizations to bring good news, hope and renewal to Chattanooga’s inner city.
I have been serving with Inner City Ministries for more than 40 years to help the poor to receive the love of Christ through the gospel and tangible acts of mercy. I am glad to know the new organization Hope for the Inner City is equally devoted to this task as well as helping the poor receive the skills necessary to become self-sufficient.
