Our Story
"One of these losses became personal...
We were forced to ask ourselves what resources do families need?"
Hope Rising Resource Center lives at Wesley Freedom, UMC in Sykesville, MD and EVERYONE is welcome, regardless of age, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, creed, or spiritual practices!
Many families in our area have faced the loss of a loved one due to addiction, mental health symptoms, and grief. One of these losses became personal, when we, as a community, faced the loss of a member who was a son and a brother. We were forced to ask ourselves what resources do families need? Where do families go who need to find reliable treatment, and where does the entire family receive support and healing?
A family resources center was created; a place where families could call if they were in a crisis.
In 2020, a renewed focus on holistic care, through therapeutic services, recovery programs, and resources, was established, and our name became Hope Rising Resource Center.
Hope Rising's mission is to improve the mental health and well-being of ALL people by offering therapeutic services, recovery programs, and resources.

Why Wheat?
We chose winter wheat because it is planted in the fall where the seeds stay in the dark, cold, and hard earth. We can find ourselves in that same kind of darkness; hard, cold, feelings of abandonment and finding no relief. Somehow in that darkness, work is still being done in that seed; it is still germinating, and things are happening even when we can’t see it.
So… why wheat? Because in your darkest pain, addiction, sadness, and need, you are still growing, still healing, and still being loved fiercely!
Hope is rising!
