Destined for Purpose

Learn More

Our purpose is to support women on their journey to healing by providing a warm, family-like environment for restoration.

Our group home is a place of safety, hope, and new beginnings for women or women with children. We provide a supportive, faith-based environment where women can rebuild their lives, regain stability, and grow in confidence. With guidance, encouragement, and practical resources like life skills training and parenting support, we help families heal from the past and move toward a brighter future. We welcome women from our local and surrounding areas who are in need of a fresh start, because we believe every woman deserves a safe place to be restored and feel loved.
