WHO We ARE


Welcome to Hope for Kids! We are Matt + Erika Currier.

On January 14, 1986, at the age of 12 years old, in a two-bedroom apartment in New Hampshire, Matt experienced hope in a way he never imagined possible. On that night, he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. He began taking every opportunity he had to share this new-found hope with friends and family, and quickly realized that hope changes everything!

In 1993 Matt married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Erika. Matt and Erika have seven children and six grandchildren.

On December 16, 2013, they founded Hope for Kids, a ministry that reaches kids in urban areas with the love of God through meeting physical, spiritual, and relational needs.  Matt and Erika's vision is to see the lives of children transformed by the message of hope, the Gospel, and as a result, experience healing from the past, help in the present and hope for the future. 

Our pillars





Kids Need Love

 “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.”

1 Corinthians 13:13

God is love

Beloved let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.”

1 John 4:7


KIDS NEED HOPE

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you.”

Ephesians 1:18a


GOD IS HOPE

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

GOD expects and empowers his people to deliver his message of love + hope to those who need it

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.” Matthew 5:14-15
