MINISTRY TO WOMEN

The Women's Lighthouse is a meeting place for women who have been in jail or prison, as well as women who have been impacted by crime.  Many women who come to the Women's Lighthouse have been victims of domestic violence and struggle with addictions.

The Women's Lighthouse mission is to assist, develop and train women who have a desire to grow in Christ so that their lives may become a living testimony to the ways of the Lord. At the Women's Lighthouse, women are shown love and given a message of hope. We strive to provide evidenced-based services in a trauma-informed setting with a multi-generational focus.

A variety of activities are available at the Women's Lighthouse.  Through weekly Bible studies, peer-led support groups, meals, counseling, activities, and life together in a safe and healthy community, women can gain an understanding of Christian doctrine, rebuild family relationships, begin to heal from past traumas, grow in their strengths, and learn to disciple others.

The Women’s Lighthouse also provides residency to women who commit to staying in the home for a minimum of 3 months and may stay up to 1 year. At NCM, we are looking for women that have a desire for a new way of living, that are willing to be led, and that will be patient with the process
