TLC Home
The TLC Home is a traditional living
home where women are committed to the process of restoring their lives with
God's help. We want women to join us who have demonstrated a desire to
become productive, Godly women, able to contribute to their families,
churches, and communities. we want to provide them a safe traditional living
environment. They will be loved and encouraged to gain new skills, new
personal insights, and a new and glowing relationship with God, resulting in
the necessary commitment to be what god intends. As the path ahead will not
always be an easy one, we want to help provide them a new family who will
support them in their effort.
The women may stay up to two years in the home,
as long as they are progressing. First they become accustomed to the free
world, developing life skills in the home through various classes and
opportunities at the Center and then either taking vocational classes, GED
classes or attending college to prepare for a vocation that will provide for
themselves and their families. Upon gaining those skills they will be able
to seek employment and gradually take on more responsibility to the point
they feel they can successfully live independently on their own to meet
their family's needs.
Children do not live with the women but may
visit them to allow the women to focus on their own needs and build a
stranger relationship with their families over a period of time.

Each woman will find at the TLC
Home:
1) A time to get to know God better
and to gain the assurance that He has a plan for their life that is greater
than they can imagine.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the lord, plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
2) A time to build relations with a new support
family. They can relate to what the others are going through because many of
the residents have been in jail or prison also. Therefore, they will be loved
unconditionally, but will still be held responsible as a part of the family.
3) A time to establish a new
constructive lifestyle. In the home each woman will acquire new skills. They
will learn how to budget their time and money. Values and attitudes will
change. What each women learns here is designed to help her live
successfully
in an imperfect society.
