Dear Friend,

Thank you for your interest in HOPE Recovery Homes. I trust that this packet will answer your questions regarding our program.

Our mission is to help others to live victorious Christian lives, enabling them to have permanent victory from any and all habitually crippling sins through the power of Christ and obedience to His Word. While there is a distinct structure to our home by necessity, we want to help you learn to live a normal and happy life after you finish the program. For this reason there are rules while you are with us but the goal is that you will learn here how to rule yourself so that you can move forward in a healthy way.

In order to be considered for enrollment, you must follow each of these steps:

1. Read and consider the attached application. Fill out the application neatly and completely.

2. Return the completed application and other requested forms to our office.

3. After allowing time to receive and review your application, schedule an interview call with us.

You must personally seek help. No second party requests will be considered unless; your Pastor who has dealt with our ministry in the past is referring you. Once again, thank you for your interest in HOPE Recovery Homes. If God leads you to this ministry, we will join with you in a commitment to rebuild a life that has true freedom found only in Jesus Christ!

In His Service,

Pastor Rick Carter
