Our Special Approach to Ministry
We have designed a comprehensive
12- 14 month program that emphasizes:
- Big Book reading
- Educational opportunities
- Vocational training
- Spiritual growth
- Basic life skills
- Counseling
- Addiction education and relapse prevention
House of Grace is designed to teach these women to
become self-sufficient by addressing their spiritual,
educational, vocational and phychological needs.
House of Grace is a community-based
model stressing:
- Personal responsibility
- Shared goals and support
- Mentoring
- Empowering (rather than enabling)
It is a place where women are taught how to rejoin
the mainstream of community life where they can become
productive citizens supporting themselves, their families
and their community.
Benefits of Program
- Keeps Family Unit Together
Until recently, homeless, addicted or abused women
with young children had few options but to give
up their children. House of Grace keeps the family
unit together while women receive counseling, continued
education and life skills training. Onsite day-care
is provided for the young children while their mothers
are in class or counseling sessions.
- Reunification
House of Grace is a private program that helps women
reunite with their children. We take referrals from
other programs for women who need to work on reunification.
