Graduate Program

Graduation is an important milestone, but lasting transformation continues long after the program ends. After completing our year-long discipleship and recovery program, men and women can take the next step in their journey through our Graduate Program. With a solid foundation in God’s Word and an understanding of what it means to live as a new creation in Christ, graduates receive continued support and accountability as they work toward greater independence.

The program is built around several key goals:

Spiritual Goals

Graduates are encouraged to continue growing in their faith through active involvement in a local church, weekly accountability groups, and ongoing discipleship with volunteers and ministry staff. 

As they grow, graduates also have opportunities to mentor men and women in our shelter and Life Transformation Programs, developing as spiritual leaders who can encourage others and point them to Christ.

Financial Goals

Graduates continue building toward independence through quarterly financial management classes focused on biblical stewardship and practical money management. 

They learn to create and follow a budget, reduce debt, save for the future, and apply biblical principles to their finances.

Employment Readiness

Graduates receive support as they pursue stable, full-time employment and greater independence.

We help them build resumes, strengthen interview skills, find opportunities, and navigate the job application process.

Education and Training

Graduates have opportunities to further their education and develop valuable career skills through partnerships with organizations such as KTECH, Calhoun Community College, Drake State, and North Alabama Homebuilding Academy. 

These partnerships provide pathways to GED completion, CDL training, technical certifications, and other skills that can lead to greater employment opportunities.

Being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. — Philippians 1:6
