Commitment to a Life of Faith, Sobriety, & Purpose

Choose to live a life in the image of Christ with help from The Lighthouse, based in Memphis, Tennessee. We help individuals facing hard times restore their faith in God and get back on their feet so they can live productive and faith-centered lives. Through our transitional housing and back-to-work program, called the Nehemiah Program, this is possible. 

Recovery Support 

Safe Harbor is a residential facility affiliated with our organization. They offer a variety of social and spiritual services to help those in our Nehemiah Program avoid getting caught up again in a life of homelessness, drugs/alcohol, and crime. Services include:

  • Relapse Prevention
  • Anger Management 
  • Pastoral Support & Case Management
  • Drug Screening 
  • Basic Education 
  • Celebrate Recovery 
  • Intensive Outpatient Programs

Nehemiah Program Conditions

The Nehemiah Program is intended to help individuals overcome addiction and return to their home communities sober, employed, capable of independent housing, and engaged in helping others as they were once helped. We believe we can help people re-enter society after imprisonment and make a meaningful contribution to their communities, and, over time, regain the trust of others. Our vision is to one day expand our Nehemiah Program to cities across the United States, as well as worldwide.

The conditions for participation in our diversionary or post-incarceration program are tailored according to your needs. We provide regular reports concerning your status, including drug screening and reporting at a pre-determined frequency. If periodic in-person reporting is required, we will provide transportation to your location, and accompany as needed, provided your court is in our service area.
