Mission Statement
“…and the Lord remembered her…”
1 Samuel 1:19b
Hannah’s Haven, A Teen Challenge Center helps women develop in spirit, mind, and body so they can become all they were created to be in Christ. In partnership with the community Hannah’s Haven provides a safe and stable environment for women who are in recovery from substance abuse.
Program Overview
Hannah’s Haven seeks to provide a safe, stable, and peaceful environment for women to establish a lifestyle free of drugs and alcohol. The ministry will serve any women age 18 and older who have recently completed substance abuse treatment or have undergone medically supervised detoxification. The program lasts a minimum of 9 months and a maximum of 12 months. All Hannah’s Haven residents must have commitment to their own recovery. The residents will be provided structure, support, and strict accountability. The home’s model for recovery is best captured in the acronym S.A.F.E.
Spiritual Growth
Residents will participate in a biblical 12-step program conducted at the home. We believe that these twelve principles are clearly set forth in Scripture, and we are dedicated to the principles of anonymity and confidentiality. Residents will initially attend Grace Community Church on Sunday mornings. It is under the discretion of the program director to allow a resident to attend another church (with supervision).
Affirmation
Women entering the program will bring with them false beliefs about who they are. Part of the recovery process is for participants to be affirmed about their value and worth. Caring, supportive staff members and volunteers will support each woman during recovery. We will assign each woman with a spiritually-mature mentor to encourage, walk with, and pray with her through weekly meetings.
Fellowship
Through living in community, our goal is for women to begin to depend on one another as sisters and friends. Under the guidance and modeling of the program director, residents will work together to cook meals, do household chores, and resolve conflicts. Additionally, Hannah’s Haven will host social gatherings for family members, friends, and mentors.
Education
Hannah’s Haven will utilize existing community resources to assist women in reaching educational and vocational goals, including but not limited to obtaining a GED, vocational training certification in 2 fields, and 8-10 hours per week of educational study. We will also invite guests to teach classes in the home related to topics such as financial planning, interview skills, and parenting.
