A biblical residential program for addicts to be transformed through the gospel
Our vision is to create ‘addiction transformation houses’ in Northern California. We will use Biblical Counseling and work training programs, while living in intentional community. This will equip participants to live a transformed, productive, and joy-filled life of freedom in Christ.
Transformed: (Rom 12:2)
From: Addicted, hopeless, and separated from Christ. Stuck in a cycle of trying to get out in your own strength, but being unable to do so.
To: A vibrant relationship with Jesus, Free from the sin of addiction, Integrated into the church community, Employed, housed, serving the Lord.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:1-2
We believe that for a person with addiction to drugs or alcohol to be transformed for a life of lasting freedom, they need a program including:
Biblical Counseling and Discipleship
2 Tim 3:16-17
Matt 28:29-30
Developing work skills and ethic
1 Thess 4:11-12
Eph 6:5-8
Intentional Fellowship and Accountability
Heb 10:24-25
Gal 6:1-2
In such an environment, we trust participants will be transformed by the power of God's word and the work of the Holy Spirit in the renewal of their minds. (Rom 12:2, Col 3:2-3) Sinful habits will be replaced with loving service (Tit 2:11-12). Idolatry and worship of pleasure will be replaced with genuine worship of the living God. (2 Cor 5:15)
