What is Tabitha House?

​

Tabitha Ministry is a year-long, Christ-based residential program that mentors and disciples women who are ready to rebuild their lives. Through a structured 12-step, faith-based approach, residents receive guidance, healing, and practical support to help them create lasting change. 

​

​What are the requirements to be accepted into the program?

​​

We welcome women who are ready to leave their past behind and commit to personal and spiritual growth. Our program is active and hands-on, so applicants should be physically able to climb stairs and work approximately 20 hours per week in our community thrift store to meet the service requirement. 

​​

What is the cost of the program?

​​

There is no cost to apply or enroll. All housing, food, and program services are provided free of charge, thanks to the generosity of our community donors and partners. 

​​

Is the program religious?

​​

Yes. Tabitha Ministry is a Christ-centered program. Residents participate in weekly worship services, Bible studies, and faith-based classes designed to support spiritual growth and healing. 

​​

Do residents have to be Christian to apply?

​​

No. Applicants do not need to be Christian, but they must be open to learning about the Christian faith and participating in faith-based activities. ​

​

What does a typical week look like?

​

Residents spend about 20 hours each week serving in our thrift store, Tabitha's Closet, as part of their community service and job training. Each week also includes a variety of classes such as: 

• Christ-based 12-step recovery

• Critical thinking and coping skills

• Healthy boundaries and co-dependency

• Trauma recovery

• Life skills (Communication, budgeting, self-care)

• Bible study and worship

​

Residents attend church every Sunday as part of their spiritual development.

 

What are the rules for residents?

 

For one year, residents live in a safe and structured “bubble” - a season of separation from outside distractions - to focus fully on healing. During the 12-month program, residents agree to:

 

• No cell phones or Internet access.

• No outside employment or driving.

• No romantic relationships.

• No drugs, alcohol, nicotine, or vaping.

• No Subutex, Suboxone, or Methadone.

• No outside financial support.

​​

Can I apply if I have pending criminal charges and/or on probation/post-release?

​

Yes. We work with women in various stages of the legal process. Tabitha Ministry provides transportation for court, probation, and other mandatory appointments.

​​

Can I take prescription medication while in the program?

​

Some prescription medications are allowed with prior approval. Each case is reviewed to ensure safety and program compatibility. 

​​

Can I apply if I am pregnant? Can I bring my children with me?

​​

At this time, Tabitha Ministry is not equipped to accommodate children or pregnant women in the residential program.
