What We Believe
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, the authenticity of His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection and His present mediatorial work in heaven.
- We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit. We believe He gives life, He sanctifies, He empowers and comforts all believers.
- We believe that the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments in their original texts, are fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, without error, and are the final authority for the Church.
- We believe that man was originally created sinless. Tempted by Satan, man fell and thereby brought the whole race under the condemnation of eternal separation from God.
- We believe that man is saved through repentance and faith in the finished work of Christ. Justification is through grace alone.
- We believe that the Church is the body of Jesus Christ composed of all true believers. The present work of the Church is the worship of God, the perfecting of the saints and the evangelisation of the world.
- We believe in the personal and bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ to consummate our salvation and establish His glorious Kingdom.
Our name
“Why Hope on the Streets for Children? There is no hope on the streets for children.”, is a common thing we hear. Our name is designed to show that we need to get out of our churches and bring hope onto the streets to the children and youths. Jesus was often on the streets bringing hope and the message of salvation.

With permission, we adapted training materials from ‘Crisis Care Training International’ plus adding other materials from our own studies and experience. We have continued to learn, and adapt for different settings.
With Covid-19 we developed a combined online/ distance learning programme. This has been an exciting, steep learning curve.
