Mission statement
At Echoing Hills, we are committed to Revolutionizing Lives where people live, learn, connect, play, and worship.
Statement of faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and the only infallible, authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
We believe in
o The full deity and full humanity of Christ (John 1:1-14; Hebrews 1:3-5, 2:5-18),
o His virgin birth (Luke, 1:26-38),
o His sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15),
o His miracles (John 10:31-38),
o His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 2:24),
o His bodily resurrection (John 20:1-31; Acts 1:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8),
o His ascension to the right Hand of the Father (Acts 1:4-11),
o His present rule as Head of the Church (Ephesians 1:22, 5:23; Colossians 1:18),
o His personal return in power and glory (Revelation 19:11-16, 22:7-21).
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of all who are separated from God by sin and rebellion (John 14:15-21; Romans 3:23; 8:111; 1 Corinthians 12:3).
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are lost unto damnation (Matthew 25:41-46), and they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life (Matthew 25:31-40; 1 Corinthians 15:42-57).
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across races, genders, and classes (Colossians 3:11).

History
For over 50 years, Echoing Hills has supported thousands of families, friends and neighbors through our outreach to people with disabilities. We believe in creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities and assisting them in reaching their fullest potential. Our journey began with Cordell Brown's dream of serving people like himself, with only $300 and a handful of friends who believed, Echoing Hills became a reality. From that humble beginning and two rustic cabins in rural Ohio, we now serve individuals with disabilities all over the state of Ohio with camping, travel, residential, healthcare and adult services. Our services all support our beliefs that all individuals can live purposeful lives with dignity and respect.
