The New Life program gives people with histories of abuse, addiction, and homelessness a chance to become self-sufficient, productive members of society.

The program, offered at The Crossing, Harvest Farm, and Champa House, combines spiritual, emotional, and addictions counseling with academics, Bible study, and work therapy into a curriculum that lasts up to 27 months.

Program residents advance through five phases of ordered, staged growth in: academics/literacy; program performance; spiritual/psychological/social/emotional growth; relationship and life skills; and work habits. Progress in these areas brings increased responsibility and privilege, the reward of graduation, and a "new life!"

The Program
Pipeline (The Crossing and Harvest Farm only): New residents learn about the program, receive duty assignments, and are given health, psychological, and educational evaluations.

5 Phases:

Orientation: Residents identify goals such as obtaining sobriety, overcoming personal problems, and making educational progress. Using this treatment plan, counseling, addiction therapies, and education work begins.
Stabilization: Residents accept and develop disciplines to reach established goals.
Application: Residents attend church activities, complete educational track, may work part-time, and/or begin higher education classes.
Initiation: Residents form new, healthy community relationships, continue higher education, mentor lower phase residents, and may work full-time.
Independence: Residents develop an independent living plan and demonstrate self-sufficiency through career employment, financial savings, and spiritual maturity.

Post-Graduate Program
Many New Life program graduates go on to the Post-Graduate Program, which provides further mentoring, accountability, counseling, and financial aid. Graduates mentor others and volunteer at the Mission, while continuing random drug tests.
