Life-Transformation Program
Union Rescue Mission is committed to helping men overcome the addictions and other issues that have devastated their lives. It isn’t easy — it takes time and hard work.
We offer men the time and help they need in three phases:
PHASE 1: Christian Life Discipleship 1 Year Program
Union Rescue Mission’s residential Christian Life Discipleship Program is an intense, in-depth, year-long plan designed to help men understand the root causes of their homelessness and why their lives aren’t working — and then to rebuild their lives on a solid biblical foundation and lasting solutions.
