Welcome to the HOPErs Community
Waiting isn’t easy. But you don’t have to do it alone. The HOPErs Community is a space to grow stronger in faith, share your story, and find weekly encouragement as you navigate the sacred in-between. Rooted in the mission of While You Wait Ministries, we invite you to move from hurt to hope—one tier at a time.
Come as you are. Leave held, heard, and hopeful.
Whether you’re waiting for healing, clarity, restoration, or purpose, the HOPErs Community exists to hold space for your spiritual journey. Here, hope isn’t something you have to fake—it’s something we grow together.
An online sanctuary for women waiting on God — together.
Start where you are. Go as deep as you feel called.
Each tier of the HOPErs Community offers access to exclusive resources, messages, and experiences designed to meet you in your season of waiting.
