Goal
Beneath the Shade is a transitional living space for women who struggle with substance abuse disorders and who want to rebuild their lives and explore what having a relationship with the Living God might be all about. Beneath the Shade is for women who know they need more time in a semi-structured and loving setting before they can live successfully on their own. Our name comes from Psalm 121, specifically verse 5.
Our mission is to cultivate a nurturing interim living space for women with substance abuse disorders, supporting the hard work of learning to love God, self, neighbor and creation.
Our goal is that this house and property will be a beautiful and peaceful place for these women to heal and move into the abundant life we believe God calls us all to. We plan, God willing, to be open by Sping 2021.
