Community

The Men and women of New Heart Place are vital members of a healing community of faith; a people of God’s presence.

“People whose lives are characterized by addictions, violence, abandonment, and failure are in need of evangelization that offers the power of Christ found in a healing community.  These healing communities have the ability to take broken and scarred tissue from tattered lives and out of terrible environments and form new cells.”

Dr. Cheryl  Johns 

Healing and Holy Spirit Transformation is the Focus of Our Ministry

As much as we honor those who have achieved sobriety in their recovery, our focus is not clean and sober.  The focus of our ministry is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the development of an authentic “man or woman of God after God’s own heart.”  If a student becomes a genuine man or woman of God, drugs and alcohol will no longer be an issue.

Visitors Welcome

Each week, the men and women of New Heart Place will participate in an evening of worship, ministry of the Word, and one of six distinct healing and recovery groups. 

Our Community

New Heart Place

Holistic healing simply cannot occur in isolation.  Learning how to forgive, how to reconcile a strained or broken relationship can only happen in community.  Maturing from a preadolescent, insecure child controlled by selfishness and an “it’s all about me” worldview into an emotionally strong adult who is capable of cultivating life-giving relationships requires community.  Learning to embrace and be embraced by a transgenerational, multi-ethnic people requires community.  

  • ^New Heart Place is not a cold, impersonal institution; but rather, a warm, caring home.
  • ^New Heart Place offers each student the opportunity to establish and build enduring relationships within a local church community of faith that will strengthen and sustain him or her in the years following graduation.
  • ^New Heart Place offers the serious student an opportunity to earn a GED, pursue post-graduate education, ministerial training, or a trades apprenticeship. Professional assistance in writing a resume and doing an employment-placement interview is available to each student.

Isn’t it time for you to Join Us?

For many applicants, a year to eighteen months seems like forever.  Perhaps, but research indicates that unlearning old, toxic lifestyle patterns and learning new life-giving patterns requires a minimum of one year. The typical New Heart Place applicant began ingesting drugs and alcohol between the ages of twelve and fourteen.  By the time that applicant is in his or her intake interview, a minimum of fifteen years have elapsed; fifteen years marked by pain, rejection, abandonment, broken family relationships, and, too often, encounters with the criminal justice system. 

It’s time.  It’s actually overtime.  

Come join us.  Call or email us.  We’ll be delighted to send you an application.
