One Stop Care for Women & Children

The Troxel Family Life Center operates as a transitional facility which assists victims of domestic violence, homelessness, and destructive lifestyles.

When first entering the program, women stay in the transitional dorm. After a four-week period, they enter into the first phase of the program and are moved into a room. The program consists of four phases. Throughout these phases women are involved in Bible studies, life skills classes, parenting classes, budgeting, and work internship.

Childcare is provided through our Lighthouse Community Preschool. During school holidays, the children of the Troxel Shelter enjoy special activities hosted by volunteers.

Lighthouse takes a unique holistic approach to meeting the needs of an individual’s mind, body, and soul. We do this by providing food, clothing, shelter, education, referral services, on site job training, career advancement training, counseling, case management, discipleship, and structured classes in budgeting, parenting, and spiritual growth all within one central location.

Melissa

After enduring years in an abusive relationship and nursing a pretty serious drug habit, Melissa didn’t have a lot of places to turn. As an unwed mother of two, she struggled when she found out she was pregnant a third time two years ago. She chose to give the baby up for adoption, but the day she found out she was pregnant for the fourth time, she decided it was time for a change.
Since entering Lighthouse in October of 2008, Melissa has found peace and joy she never experienced before. She gave her life to Christ just two days after entering the program, as have each of her kids. They got baptized as a family during the family dedications. Melissa welcomed her third child, Autumn, recently, and the family couldn't be happier.
