We're a Community

About Us

WHo We Are

A Christian Recovery Community

We are soldiers on a warpath to defeat the enemy in this realm and build the children of God on the foundation of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. HOSS is focused on removing addiction as the obstacle from a person’s true purpose, walking with them from comfort to conviction for life.

How do we get someone from comfort to conviction? We do not exist to get people sober, mention Jesus, and send them on their way. We want roots to grow within our residents that will lead to a fundamental change in their life on a foundational level. We change priorities.

Others before ourselves

We lead by example, and hold strong to balancing our emulation of Christ in grace and truth.

We understand that humans are not robots. We encourage free thought and acknowledge there are differing theological stances that are well within the bounds of sound doctrine and without heresy. We do our best to honor Scripture as our authority, from Genesis to Revelation.
Our Strategy

We Recognize the Tools of the Enemy and We Fight Back

We are all about community. Our residents are in constant community, encouraging shared journeys and conversation. We believe in edification and emulation. Our core management staff lives on the property with their families. We are a community and we comfort, protect, and care for each other.

We are focused on truth. This truth is found in Scripture. Our compass in recovery and life is the Bible, a text we regard as the inerrant Word of God revealed for his children. We see the Bible as authored by divinely inspired men with a common message of God, humanity, living, and salvation. We believe in the natural law of the Bible and the importance of adherence to its commands for holy living to yield our best purpose and potential for a life of contentment in the Lord.

We comfort for the purpose of conviction. We serve the Lord actively and with intention. We think of others and the world around us, and promote a mentality of adding to God’s creation while we are here on earth, leaving the world better than we found it. We have been on the recovery journey ourselves, and we see the disease of addiction as fertile soil for a life of purpose. Priorities in life are well-established in the midst of life and death situations, and addiction is just that. We heal the hurt and harness the focused nature of the addict for good. HOSS is not an end, but a beginning of one’s true purpose in life.
We serve. Our faculty serves and our residents serve. HOSS is not a temporary shelter for sobriety. We are an active community and we serve others. We know that getting out of oneself is crucial for healing and growth. We stay busy. We get to work on our property, for the surrounding communities, and for any cause we can impact. We coordinate to provide positive outlets of consistent service work.
We are disciplined. Our facility and program are structured. We do not tolerate misbehavior. We expect accountability and respect. This is not easy for someone who is hurting who may be used to enablement, excessive sympathy, and is expecting others to coddle them. We treat residents with dignity, and they will treat others in kind. The God-given uniqueness of the individual is found and flourished in structured environments.
We are an electronics-free facility. We have periodic showings of documentaries or movies. There is music at worship or other appropriate contexts. HOSS is an environment of community with human interaction at its core. We are either engaging with others in growth or being still with the Lord. Recovery is impeded on multiple levels by the things of the world. We unplug our people from unnecessary influences in this delicate time of redemption.
We know all too well the hopelessness felt when one is at their bottom. Often, the future seems dark, or perhaps worse, nonexistent. We stay positive. We encourage. We edify. Our residents are taught and shown by example that they can recover, and they will be motivated to live their life again. We are realistic and honest, but we do not give up.
We bring Faith. Our residents study Scripture, theology, and humanity. We teach life skills based on holy living. We set expectations high as we are serving the Most High. Daily worship helps us love Jesus, and serving others as our neighbors shows them love, which helps our residents find worth and love for themselves.
