Hope Plaza is the city block where Christ Central Ministries was founded on May 18th, 1997. This location is where people in the midlands who are in need, come to find help and resources to reestablish hope in their lives. Here are the primary offerings at Hope Plaza:

Strategies for Life Improvement

Come in for an interview that will include assessment of your current housing, education, employment, job skills, health and financial issues, etc., and development of a strategy for improving your situation. The strategy will be based primarily on matching client needs with available resources. Once that strategy is developed, we will meet with clients regularly to monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed. For an appointment, call 803-828-9125.

​

Our goals are to ensure:

​

1. Each person seeking improvement has a plan in place;

2. Each person seeking improvement has transportation to get to needed resources;

3. All improvement plans are monitored and adjusted as necessary.

Optical Assistance

​

The Eye Clinic is open the second Wednesday of each month. If you have any questions or want to schedule an eye exam, please contact Director Robyn McCray of the Resource & Solution Center at 803-586-6814.

We depend on a core of volunteers, often retirees, to perform a wide variety of critical services assisting those in need. Such persons are usually the first people our patients see when they enter the clinic and the last they see upon departure. If you have interpersonal, computer, or telephone skills, we may have a place for you.
