Place of Promise Overview

Adult Long-Term Residential Program: Through our four residential homes and 3-level recovery program, we provide a safe Christian living community that focuses on knowing God and growing in relationship with Him. We combine this faith foundation with clinical support for medical and mental care as well as life skill instruction in repentance, confession, receiving forgiveness, setting healthy boundaries, 12-step recovery tools, relapse prevention, education, and job training. Residents are prepared to lead new lives of hope and potential empowered by God and free from addictions.
Kids of Promise Program: The children’s program serves the neighborhood children of Lowell. Most of these children come from broken, poverty-stricken homes, having at least one parent who is in prison, addicted to drugs, or absent. The program is offered year-round, is separated into younger children and teens, and offers crafts, meals, games, and activities. Most importantly, they discover that God is always with them as they hear Bible stories and learn who God is by experiencing His love, His presence, and His character through the staff and volunteers.
