After searching far and wide for an answer to many questions, many people have become disillusioned; even desperate for relief. The pain of not being understood, not understanding, just getting by on sheer will (a hope and a prayer) can make one cry out for change.

The Emmanuel (God with Us) House Recovery Program under the ministering of Timothy Thompson Sr. has provided numerous men and women with a reprieve from the perils of loneliness, depression and despair. Originally started as a three-quarter house for men attempting recovery from the disease of addiction to drugs, the Program has evolved into a multi-faceted Recovery Community addressing not only drug addiction and homelessness but deliverance from all forms of addictive tendencies that hinder:

• spiritual advancement
• family reunification and development
• assistance in securing employment and benefits
• educational enhancement
• transitional to permanent housing
• peer-to-peer support for sustained abuse avoidance

The Program Community now includes men, women, and families on campus, working together to create a healthy environment for positive growth. The Vision entrusted to us includes home and property ownership, business development and other support mechanisms to achieve and maintain self sufficiency within the society in which we live.

By God’s grace, Pastor Thompson, the founder and Director of Emmanuel House, is driven by a love for the community and each individual in it. A love which is demonstrated through action and a clear, purposeful plan for making sure that no member is lost. This has solidified the growth of the program and the members who take on this anointed mission.
