Where this is lived
People of different ages live the Word together under one roof, keeping one rhythm and eating at one table.
It is a household, not a hallway of strangers: people of different ages and different stories, deliberately living as one family. Our arms are open — reach out, and we will sit down with you to see whether this household is a good fit and a place you would actually want to be.
The house we have
This is where the ministry is lived today: bedrooms of their own, one kitchen, one long table, and a household that keeps the Sabbath together.
Open and receivingThe first house and still the heart of this work. Bedrooms of their own, one kitchen, one long table, and a household that keeps the Sabbath together. Morning devotions are held here before the day starts, and the evening meal is eaten together most nights.
Where it is exactly is shared with a household once they are accepted
We do not publish the address. Where the house is exactly is shared with a household once they have been accepted, and with volunteers once they are scheduled.
How it works
One
It starts with a phone call. We listen to where you are, what you need, and whether living in a shared household is something you actually want. It is also an interview — and it runs both ways: we are finding out whether this household is a good fit for you, and you are finding out whether it is a place you want to be. Nobody is signed up for anything on that call, nothing is expected of you on it, and there is no pressure in it.
Two
If it fits, you are given a room of your own in the house, and a place at the table. There is no probationary status and no case number. You are part of the family from the day you arrive.
Three
Devotions in the morning, the Word taught at the table, prayer through the week, worship together on Saturday, meals shared. Everyone keeps it with everyone else — that shared keeping is what makes a house into a household.
Four
A household is a season, not a destination. It is a place to get your feet under you with people around you — and to move on from, when you are ready, with a family that keeps calling you after you go.
Who makes a house ready
The painting, the remodeling, and the repairs are done by the ministry’s own supporting company — the same people who find and secure the house this ministry uses. Nothing is handed off to a stranger, and nothing sits waiting on someone else’s schedule.
That is also why volunteering here means something concrete. When we say a room needs hands, we mean a wall needs painting and a floor needs laying — real work, in a house somebody is living in.
