New Life for Women
Mission
Our goal is to reach, rescue, and empower women whose lives are controlled by domestic violence, drug and alcohol addictions, prostitution, homelessness, and other life-controlling issues.
Scripture Verses
“Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new creation. The old life is gone; a new life has begun.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
What We Do
We are committed to providing a second chance through a program of recovery; resulting in restored hope, health, and a totally new life. We offer residential support for up to two years, and ongoing program support for a lifetime.
