LIFESPRING: SHELTER & RESTORATION FOR WOMEN
A SAFE PLACE TO RECOVER FOR SINGLE WOMEN, AND WOMEN WITH CHILDREN DONATE TODAYVOLUNTEEROur Christ-centered recovery and long-term transitional living program offers safe shelter for women and children who have lost their housing due to addiction, abuse or financial crisis, with the support and reaffirming care they need.
Housed inside a refurbished convent, this ministry provides a safe and loving environment where women learn the necessary skills to make new choices, live independently and build strong support systems while they encounter Jesus Christ. Next, our ladies are encouraged to face their problems, plan their future, and work towards self-sufficiency. More over, children find a safe place to play and grow while moms get the help they need.

We minister to the whole person through Bible studies, biblical guidance classes in parenting, finances, cooking and nutrition, computer skills and more.
In addition, we connect our residents with individual mentors and local churches to build new support systems and healthy friendships.
The result is life transforming for graduates.

Proud Member
These days, Lark has gained some really good friendships at Lifespring. She appreciates that there are people in the program that she can share her struggles with, like a resident named Rica, who is very knowledgeable about the Bible. “She’ll quote me things and talk to me.” She has helped Lark through some tough times. Women in the Lifespring program all come from different walks of life. Lark shared, “But we are all here for the same reason. We’re broken, and we need help. We need God! We are here wanting to know how to be put back together…but for the most part we are a family.”
We embrace all people with the compassion of Christ
