Forgiveness House assists men leaving incarceration re-enter back into the community. We provide clean, affordable housing, three meals per day, transportation, and job placement assistance, recovery services, along with morally-based learning programs which help men transition from incarceration back into society as clean living, productive citizens. Forgiveness House is truly a safe house for men forgiven for their sins and morally objectionable behavior, as you and I are forgiven. Many in our community seem not to understand this tenent of faith; it applies equally to all of God's children, including those incarcerated, or leaving incarceration. Forgiveness House exists today because God has ordained it to exist, and it is by His Hand that Forgiveness House ministers to a forsaken, forgotten, but rapidly growing segment of our society.

Working with men on their moral recovery while still incarcerated has been the impetus for opening Forgiveness House. We have been encouraging men at West Tennessee State Penitentiary (WTSP) since 2001 and Whiteville Correctional Facility (WCF) since 2009. In the years before opening Forgiveness House, we actively helped men released on parole, but for lack of a stable alternative, they returned to the old homes or old neighborhoods. Even though they had made significant moral turnarounds while in prison, these men struggled to regain their balance. The pull of old friends, old family and old ways were too much to overcome, and before long many were back in the system again. We cried "enough"! God whispered, "Forgiveness House".
