Mitchell House: Walk Into Hope Restored

House diagram with various uses of scale rulers in architecture, including levels and angles.

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young—a place near your altar, Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. - Psalm 84:3-4

A restored 1153 Mitchell Ave will be a place of healing and belonging for our broader South Kitsap community, and a hub for Kitsap House. Within the heart of Port Orchard, a block and a half from our local high school students, it is accessible to the entire community. Renovated with an outdoor half-court, a community garden, counseling offices, kids rooms, a commercial kitchen and a large gathering space, Mitchell House will be the community’s space to share and experience the love, joy and presence of God.

We can create this together – all in what is currently the most broken down, boarded up building on the street.

Phase 1: Get The Keys










Two images: The top shows an older building with boarded windows and a chimney on a grassy lawn, with a cloudy sky and trees in the background. The bottom shows a digital rendering of a renovated version of the same building, featuring raised garden beds, modern siding, and people interacting outside.

Phase 2: Restore the Building









Have a vision beyond the building;
the building might change but the vision doesn’t have to.
— Rev. David Burke

Seeking Restoration Partners

As the Mitchel Project shifts focus from purchasing the building to renewing it for purpose, we are seeking partners to contribute to renovation costs, building use, and manpower and skills to help with the renovation directly. The Mitchell House fund (called the “Mitchell Fund”) is providing for:

  • Architectural renderings

  • Engineering plans

  • Permit applications

  • Vapor barrier
