Anjuli and Sam have a pool house which will be a shared space for residence, “family room.” (TV, Ping pong table, couches, etc).
Can I attend my own church?
Yes! Actually attending church will be a requirement. We want you to be a part of a church community of your choosing.
What are your theological commitments?
(See website “About Us”)
Are there rules?
Yes and no. The goal of the program is to help you grow in wisdom. So we don’t lay out black and white rules. Rather, we have a few guidelines that we hope will keep residents safe, cared for, and loved.
We recommend no alcohol in the house.
We recommend keeping bedrooms of the opposite sex off limits.
We recommend fasting from social media, video games, or anything that aids in your disconnection from the community.
We recommend not staying up, one on one, with the opposite sex after midnight.
We recommend using the shared living space (living room, kitchen, dining room) as a space that is always welcoming. Anything done in the living space is something that, at any moment, others could participate in. (For example: not watching a movie on a laptop with just one other person).
We recommend not dating anyone in the program. The goal of the program is primarily to grow in your relationship with God. Dating, though permitted with someone outside of the program, we do discourage dating someone while both living in “The Hope House.”

Can I go to school and work while in this program?
Yes! There will be required meetings, retreats, and commitments that you will have to fulfill if you are choosing to be a part of this program. Plan to set aside 5 hours a week for groups/volunteering/individual meetings.
What does applying for this program look like?
You’ll need to fill out an application. If we think you would be a good fit for this program, you’ll be invited to an interview. If you are accepted, you’ll be asked for a non-refundable $300 to reserve your spot.
What about technology, social media, etc?
We ask that you limit your number access to social media (or to delete it entirely). The home won’t have TVs, but the pool house will. We ask that you exercise wisdom.
What about cooking, cleaning, and landscaping?
Cooking and cleaning/chores will be established between the residents. You can work out a schedule of house meals, chores, and cooking that works for the overall good of those who are sharing space. Landscaping will be taken care of by the Paschall’s as part of the program fee.
Is food included in the overall cost?
No. The only meal included is the monthly family feast and any meals during the group retreats. Residents will be responsible for their own food/meals.
Can I pick my roommate and room?
It is up to your roommates to establish a rotation that seems fair.
Can people come over to the house?
Yes! But, we want to honor the space for each resident. We ask that the bedrooms are only for the residents who live there. The open living spaces are welcome to friends and family to occupy.
Can family and friends spend the night?
No. This is just another way we honor the shared space for those living in the home.
What if I want to quit halfway through can I get a refund?
We hope that doesn’t happen, but if you must stop, you’ll be required to fulfill your payments through July.
Are there scholarships available?
Yes! Please inquire if you are in need of financial assistance.
