R12 LifeChange Program

Romans 12:1 Based on Romans chapter twelve, the R12 LifeChange Program is a discipleship program designed to help men and women address the circumstances surrounding their homelessness, and other life controlling issues. Men and women are taught how to make Christ centered, Biblical decisions for their lives, bodies, and those they love. Guests are provided with shelter, meals, and responsibilities, as they prepare for return to society as godly servants and productive citizens. They learn how, when we give our lives wholly over to God as a living sacrifice, we can be the recipients of His mercy, Grace, and Love. Through Biblical teaching, the men and women learn to live as Christ modeled for us.

Romans 12:2 – Men and women in the R12 LifeChange program learn not only to make better decisions, but to have their lives renewed and redeemed in Christ. They were lost, but through daily prayer, study, and fellowship, they are given the opportunity to restore the three most necessary relationships in their lives: God, self, and one another. The guests in our program learn about the power of grace; both from God and towards each other. Service to others is an essential part of their growth. They participate in programs that provide emergency housing, meals, clothing, and groceries to the hurting and homeless.

Transitional Work Program

The Transitional Work Program is designed to help men and women who are employed a minimum of twenty-eight hours per week to learn to make discerning, Biblical decisions with their money. The TWP provides our guests with stable housing and a chance to save. They are shown how work is a God granted privilege and responsibility. They are taught accountability through program fees, expectations for saving, and an active search for permanent housing.

Emergency Shelter

The Rescue Mission provides safe, warm, and sober shelter for homeless men and women.  In a sixty-day emergency shelter program, the guests are offered the chance to set and achieve goals for themselves, while being held accountable for their behavior. They are provided breakfast every day, lunch four days a week, and dinner on Saturday and Sunday. They are provided clothing and showers to meet their needs as they work to get back on their feet.

Message and a Meal Ministry 

Isaiah 58:10 – “if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as noon day.”

Seven days a week, we provide hot, nutritious meals for anyone in need. We serve community breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as providing the chance for the spiritually hungry listener to be filled with the Word of God. Jesus himself modeled the necessity of providing for bodily needs as well as spreading the Gospel message of the truth of God.

Community Gift Center

James 2:15 – “If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?”

Every other Tuesday throughout the year, we host a community gift center for the distribution of food and clothing. Anyone from the community is encouraged to schedule an appointment to receive food according to family size and clothing as needed for men, women, and children.
