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. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
- Jeremiah 29:11-13

Grace Haven Place - A Home of Hope in Jesus Christ

Yes, there really are women here in Fairfield County who need a place to start over. They need a safe home, practical help, and a giant dose of HOPE.

Grace Haven Place is an effort to meet these desperate needs by demonstrating the love of Christ in a practical way. It is designed to provide a warm, homey atmosphere with Christian values where the women can, literally, get a fresh start in life.

Opening in 2007, Grace Haven Place is totally funded through the gifts of people and churches who see the need here and respond to the call.

The resident women will contribute to the ministry’s monthly expenses as soon as they are working, but the bulk of financial needs will be provided as the Lord moves in the hearts of His people to invest in the lives of these young Christians.

What people are saying about Grace Haven Place

“We will either transition them out into society in a healthy fashion or return them to incarceration in an unhealthy fashion. The choice is ours as a community – not as one lone person.

Without a doubt places like Grace Haven Place are giving hope to the hopelessness that jail terms far too often leave people with. After paying the price for their crime – it is imperative that we as a community of neighbors and faith-based initiatives give these women hope and a home."

Bishop Timothy W. Teague
Victory Hill Church, Carroll, OH

“Grace Haven will serve as a safe house for young women who are intent on recovering from the ravages of alcohol and other addition disorders. This program will help stem the tide of substance abuse in our community. It is an important step in the right direction.”

Orman Hall, Executive Director>
Fairfield County ADAMH Board

“Grace Haven Place is an opportunity for people to practice the love of Christ to others who are in a hard place. It’s not thousands of miles away; it’s just across the street. My wife Cynthia and I encourage your support.”

Fairfield Christian Church

This home is lovingly dedicated to women everywhere; daughters, mothers, wives, sisters. For all who have made poor choices and by the Grace of God have the opportunity for a new life in Jesus Christ.
