Our ambition is for everyone in Copperas Cove and the surrounding area to have sufficient shelter, food, employment, clothing and healthcare.  We desire for Cove House to be a place where an individual can have their health, educational, and emotional needs met all done in the name of Jesus Christ for the glory of God.

History

Cove House Emergency Homeless Shelter, Inc. was founded in 1996 as a cooperative effort between the City of Copperas Cove and the Copperas Cove Ministerial Alliance. A gap was realized and a need was seen for shelter and support for the homeless who came into the city. Several members from the community stepped up to take leadership roles in getting this ministry off the ground and providing a service to others. Since then, the ministry has grown to a homeless shelter, free health clinic and transitional housing program where the community is able to be served and encouraged through the love of Christ.
