The Hope Academy is a place for troubled men who are ready to seek help and find true hope and healing. We are committed to investing in those who are willing to commit. Our family shares a deep burden to see men’s lives transformed by the Truth, and it is our desire to offer them hope and a future.

At The Hope Academy, we provide a faith-based instructional program designed for at-risk young men. Our foremost goal is to share the Gospel, followed by helping them develop a structured lifestyle, overcome personal struggles, and prepare for gainful employment. We teach financial responsibility, build character, and equip them to become assets to society.

Once a week, Pleasant View Baptist Church has the privilege of holding services and teaching classes to share the gospel with young men and women in a local residential youth education program. Many are searching for stability, hope, and answers to the challenges they face in life. Above all, they long for someone to show they care.

Each 22-week cycle provides us with the opportunity to connect with them through our services and classes. We offer practical skills such as building, hunting, electrical work, and cooking—providing not only hands-on learning

but also meaningful life lessons. Through these efforts, we remind them that they are not alone in their struggles. It is our prayer that the seeds planted through the truth of the Gospel will take root and grow, offering them purpose and hope

for their future.

Multiple times each week, we are blessed with the opportunity to minister in several detention centers to share the transformative message of the Gospel with the inmates. Through preaching the truth of God’s Word, we provide them with the only source of true hope—hope that can guide them out of the trouble and struggles they face, not necessarily with the court system but in their standing before the God of Heaven. This hope offers a path to true freedom, healing, and restoration that only God can provide.

Bro. Josh & Mrs. Angela Calloway carry a burden and give of themselves selflessly to the Hope Through Truth Ministry.  Within the Bluegrass Challenge Academy, they truly have a heart to reach young men and ladies with the gospel and show them the way to Calvary. God has used them in a mighty way within this ministry and we are so thankful for their dedication.

While addressing freedom from the bondage of addictions, HTTM also teach soft skills, budgeting and key aspects of obtaining and maintaining a job. The Hope Academy requires a year -long commitment by the resident and we also offer ongoing support for individuals based on their specific needs. With individualized housing and a program focused on finding hope in the midst of hopelessness, the Hope Academy offers these men the opportunity to rebuild their lives with purpose.
