LOVE FROM THE STAFF
For me personally, Inner Hope is my best work experience yet. The last two years I’ve filled the role of HR, Communications, and Development Coordinator for Inner Hope. This is a workplace where love is tangible and support is available when it is needed.
I love our focus on community - we have staff lunches, prayer and connection times. I also love our focus on growth. I am always learning! I have been to several training sessions to make me better at my job. My discussions with Jenny, from our prayer letter to how reconciliation looks in our city today, inspire more tenderness than I could have imagined for the people that we walk alongside.
The care that our leaders show for each of us on the team is something I truly appreciate. I’m a nerd, so I take pleasure in our regular policy updates, strategic plans, annual program plans and individual training plans. I know that these background pieces bring amazing quality to our programs and helpful guidance for our staff. When employees feel supported and have frameworks to fall back on, we can do our jobs well.
I’m going on Mat Leave in June, so you won’t hear from me for a bit, but before I go I want to thank you. You have made these last years of my life amazing. Your love for this community is inspiring, and I look forward to many more years of walking with you when I return.

“I’ve seen Inner Hope grow and blossom in my time working here!
I think what we’re doing is so needed and that each staff member has been called here with purpose. It fills me with joy to be part of this team.” |
“I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of what God is doing here: bringing hope, healing and restoration.
Galatians 6:9: And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.” |
“I’ve experienced this workplace to be positive, lighthearted, and peaceful.
Surprisingly, because much of what we do is heavy, and uncomfortable. The staff community is exceptionally encouraging, faithful and committed to the work.” |
