Where broken roots find new ground in Christ.
House of Debra Community Works is a residential addiction recovery ministry built on Scripture, structure, and soil. Through church, Bible study, biblical counseling, Christian support groups, and the honest work of farm life, men and women rebuild what addiction tried to take.
Recovery is a harvest. It takes faith, time, and good soil.
We don't believe addiction is solved with a program alone. We believe it's overcome through a changed heart, a renewed mind, a disciplined body, and a community that won't walk away. That's the House of Debra way.
Christ-Centered, Not Just Sober-Centered
Sobriety is the fruit, not the root. Every part of our day points residents back to the Gospel and the daily presence of Jesus Christ.
Strict, Loving Structure
A full daily regimen of worship, study, counsel, and labor gives residents the framework that addiction took away — and the accountability to keep it.
Hands in the Soil, Heart in the Word
Residents plant, raise, harvest, and tend animals every day. Real work builds real character — and a field doesn't lie to you about your effort.
A full life, rebuilt one disciplined day at a time
House of Debra residents follow a strict, structured rhythm — not as punishment, but as the scaffolding recovery needs to hold.
Church Services
Regular worship gatherings center every week on the preached Word and corporate prayer.
Bible Study
Daily Scripture study builds biblical literacy and a renewed, sober mind from the inside out.
Biblical Counseling
One-on-one counsel addresses the roots of addiction — trauma, shame, and broken relationship with God and others.
Christian Support Groups
Peer-led, faith-based recovery groups build honesty, confession, and brotherhood or sisterhood in Christ.
From seedtime to harvest
Every resident walks the same field, in the same order God designed for growing things.
Intake & Surrender
A resident arrives, often at their lowest point. Intake is about honesty — admitting the need for God and for help — and being planted into a new, structured environment.
Daily Discipline
Church, Bible study, chores, farm duties, and a fixed schedule cultivate the discipline addiction destroyed. Roots go down before fruit grows up.
Counsel & Accountability
Biblical counseling and Christian support groups cut away denial and old patterns so new growth has room to come through.
Restoration & Sending
A resident leaves House of Debra not just sober, but rooted — equipped with faith, work ethic, and community to carry into life beyond our gates.
Vegetable rows, livestock, and a Genesis kind of work
From the very first chapter of Scripture, work has been part of how God forms us. Residents share daily responsibility for our gardens and animals — planting, weeding, harvesting, feeding, and caring for the creatures in our keep. It's honest, humbling, healing labor.

Lives being rebuilt, season after season
I came here with nothing left but a duffel bag and a habit I couldn't break. The garden taught me patience again. The Word taught me who I am in Christ.
Nobody had ever held me accountable with this much love before. The structure felt strict at first. Now I know it's what saved my life.
Feeding the goats at 6am isn't glamorous. But it gave me a reason to get up sober every single morning. That's where my recovery really started.
