GRACE HOUSE
Grace House is a temporary residence for men between the ages of 21-60 years who aspire to rebuild their lives and to acquire skills and tools for successful living.
The goal for each man/gentleman accepted to Grace House is acceptance, unconditional love, support and guidance from the Grace House Team, staff, and mentor in his aspirations for growth and change.
We also want him to experience support from his peers and fellowship with fellow residents. With the assistance of the Grace House Team a resident sets goals and develops a well-detailed plan to achieve independent living.
Our aim is to treat residents as successful attainers and managers of those ambitions for which they aspire, and who learn to give back and assist others.
In the Shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues
ENVIRONMENT
At Grace House, a man is surrounded by supportive individuals in a positive
environment to assist him in his objective to learn and practice disciplines and choices that lead to successful change.
In this supportive environment men are transformed from living with a lack of focus, direction, and making poor choices to pursuing a life of purpose, hope, and determination with a sense of destiny.
We believe that a man can unlearn, relearn, and learn new behaviors one day at a time and in community with others.
