Our Mission
Our mission at Sarah’s House is to establish a safe place for young women ages 18-35 and their children up to age 6 and to build a community that strengthens and supports them - guiding them step by step into stability and independence. We will meet their practical needs while also providing biblical teaching and discipleship to help them discover their identity in Christ and His purpose for their lives.
In order to give the women we serve a real chance at developing successful, productive lives, we partner with each one to create a personal development plan, which we call her “Dream Plan”, using her goals, dreams and skills. We step in and help with the day to day needs by providing a safe home and childcare so that these women have the best opportunity to meet their individual goals.
We also believe in community, so we partner with area churches to provide spiritual discipleship and life skills development for each of these women including Bible studies, parenting classes, and financial literacy classes. We also have a house mom onsite to bring stability to the residents and the home.
What We Stand On
Sarah's House isn't just a program. It's a set of promises we make to every woman who walks through our doors. These seven values guide everything we do, from how we run our home to how we love our residents.
“By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.”
Proverbs 24:3-4 (NIV)
-
We are rooted in the truth of Scripture. Every program, relationship, and decision flows from our belief that each woman is created with purpose by God. Biblical teaching and discipleship are not additions to our work; they are the foundation of it.
-
We believe every woman who enters our doors carries the capacity for lasting change. We commit to walking with her through the hard, incremental work of moving from crisis to stability and from dependence to independence, trusting that God is making all things new.
-
Love requires honesty, and growth requires structure. We set clear expectations, follow through with consistency, and hold one another to the standards we've agreed upon, because we believe too deeply in each woman's future to let her settle for less.
-
Healing cannot begin without security. We provide a physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe environment where women and their children are protected, seen, and free to begin again.
-
Independence does not mean isolation. We intentionally build relationships that surround each woman with support, encouragement, and belonging, creating the village she and her children need to thrive beyond our walls.
-
Every woman who walks through our doors is met with respect, not pity. We serve alongside her, honoring her voice, her story, and her God-given worth as we partner together toward the life He has for her.
-
Every woman arrives with a unique story, and every story carries wounds. We meet each person where she is, without judgment or assumption, and provide practical, trauma-informed tools to help her process pain and build a healthier future. Her past does not define her, but we will never ask her to pretend it doesn't exist.
