About Hope Harbor

Meeting Immediate Needs

At Hope Harbor, our mission is rooted in love, hope and action. We provide support, guidance, and a sense of family to children in Oklahoma and neighboring states who are navigating challenging circumstances. When parents are unable to meet their children’s needs, we step in to cultivate a nurturing environment where healing and growth are possible. 

Our History

On October 6, 1946, a spark of hope was ignited in North Tulsa. A group of Christians, driven by love and a desire to create change, announced their vision of establishing a children’s home. Just one year later, that vision became reality. With one house and three children, a foundation of care and compassion was laid. By May 1948, the home expanded, welcoming 20 children into its safe and loving environment.


From these humble beginnings, Hope Harbor was born—a place where children and families could find not only shelter but also healing and a renewed sense of purpose. 

Our Mission and Faith

For more than 75 years, our mission has been guided by faith. Love and compassion are cornerstones of everything we do. We believe that hope is a gift to be given and nurtured—a powerful force that transforms lives and redirects futures. 


By fostering a space where children experience healing and belonging, we work toward our ultimate goal of restoring purpose and creating brighter tomorrows, together.

Blue Starr Church of Christ

Hope Harbor is overseen by the Blue Starr Church of Christ elders, Larry Caton, Jim Dalton, Gene Sneed and Keith Thornton.

You uplift children in foster care who need encouragement and healing, and you give hope to families striving for restoration. Together, we can be the guiding light that these children and their families need.
