Who we are

→ 180 day residential, faith based recovery program for men, women, women with children, and families. We are not a shelter.
→ Total immersion in developing a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit.
→ If married, men go to the City of Refuge for no less than 30 days, most likely longer. Mom and children stay at Arukah House.
→ We work five to six days a week at the Thrift Store. All residents are required to work. Refusing to work or consistent poor performance is ground for termination from the program. We do not charge for the program, so the work helps pay for our ministry services and gives you the opportunity to contribute to your recovery and develop long lasting work skills and ethics.
→ We are not strict religiously and only want you to find healing through Jesus Christ. However, we do expect you to participate 100% in the program. This means following and participating in the daily schedule; such as chapel, bible study, prayer, chores and meals.
