The Christian Fellowship Home Mission Statement

The Christian Fellowship Home is a halfway house for alcoholic/drug dependent adult men who are able to maintain full time employment. The home is a non-profit organization that provides food and housing in a structured environment for up to six months. Our mission is to assist the men to return to society sober and self-sufficient. Our residents accomplish this through daily exposure to the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, and by learning to resolve problems in healthy, sober ways.

 

A Guiding Hand in Helping Men Return Home …

A 15-member Board of Directors, some of whom have recovered from drug and alcohol addiction, oversees the Christian Fellowship Home. Board members provide close oversight of the Home through bi-monthly board meetings and active participation on working committees. The Board of Directors surveys all residents who have been in the Home for at least 90 days to get feedback on what the men like about the Home, and what they would like to see changed. The surveys are anonymous, and the Home staff members do not see the survey forms that residents return directly to the Board.

What the Home Offers:

• Clean, comfortable home in one of Raleigh’s best neighborhoods
• Close to public transportation
• Good meals prepared on site
• Close, supportive atmosphere with House meetings
• Transportation to recovery meetings

What it Takes to Succeed in the Home:

• Staying clean and sober
• Expressing a desire to stop drinking and/or using drugs
• Working a full-time job
• Making 11pm curfew
• Attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and house meetings
• Paying weekly rent
• Treating the Home and its men with respect and dignity

What Residents Have Said about the Home:

“The Home provided a drug- and alcohol-free environment where I could make some sober friends.”

“I learned how to manage my money and finances at the Home.”
