Our Outreach Project: Freedom House
Freedom House is a home where women and their children live together in a supportive, structured, Christian environment as the mothers work on their recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Our mothers complete an educational program that enables them to understand addiction and the attitudes and beliefs that took them down the road of spiritual and physical poverty. Through this biblical curriculum they learn how to break-free from behaviors and beliefs that bind them to this destructive lifestyle.
FAQs
What’s on the schedule? See it here!
Why an overnight retreat? More time together will result in more opportunities to grow together in faith, build new relationships, and deepen existing relationships. We’ll have evening activities to connect with other women over shared interests and new discoveries. This dedicated time together will be just what we all need to unplug from our regular lives and recharge our spiritual lives.
