The Home of Grace, a nationally known addiction recovery program, has helped tens of thousands of individuals battle various types of addiction. In operation since 1965, we have used hands-on experience to build an addiction recovery program filled with success stories. In 1964, Rev. Bill Barton Sr., while pastoring a church in Pascagoula, Mississippi, took thirteen men to a Christian recovery program for alcoholics in Tallulah Falls, Georgia called the Victory Home. He became convinced God was calling him to establish a home for alcoholics in Mississippi.
Out of obedience to what he believed to be God’s will for his life, he returned home and asked eighteen men to be on the board of directors for the Home of Grace. E.H. Bacot soon donated ten acres of land nestled on the banks of Bluff Creek to the ministry. A small house trailer was also donated by C.D. and Norris Faggard. In January 1965, even before there was electrical power, the first man entered the Home of Grace. Since that time thousands of men, women and children have been served through the ministries of the Home of Grace.
Each person who comes to the Home of Grace deserves our utmost attention and God’s intervention in their life. We thank God both for the privilege of helping those in need as well as for the faith that we will be able to serve many more even more effectively in years to come. In operation since 1965, the Home of Grace has helped tens of thousands of individuals battle their addictions to drugs, alcohol, gambling, pornography, or other. Our program is founded on Christian principles, focusing on the Biblical virtues of truth, honor, integrity, respect, faith, and disciplined living.
Located on two separate campuses, a men’s campus and a women’s campus, our state-of-theart facilities offer comfort in seclusion to help you receive much needed recovery. 3 Month Residential Retreat - Located on two state-of-the-art campuses, our two men’s and women’s campuses offer a comfortable and secluded home. Your 13-week stay will consist of a week-long orientation, followed by a two phase program emphasizing both the disciplines of spiritual growth through counseling and personal ethic through the work program.
Worship and Devotions - The principle goal of our program is to lay crucial foundations in client understanding of what is involved with Christian Recovery and having a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. This happens through the art of corporate worship and personal quiet time.
Individual Counseling - Our counselors are certified and trained to guide you through a behavioral change and move you toward a new lifestyle free from addiction. These sessions are geared toward an action plan necessary for success after the program while stressing a deeper understanding of God and His purpose for your life. Classroom Instruction - After establishing a healthy foundation, you will embark on a curriculum of classes and become prepared for your exit from the program by embracing the Christian walk on a deeper level as well as learning new habits and new coping skills. Group Counseling - You will never be alone in your recovery. An effective key to transformation is sharing your journey with others on a similar path to your own. These group sessions also open a window to trust, integrity, and accountability.
Adult Education Program - To aid in adjusting to life after the program, clients who have not earned their high school diploma or GED are given an opportunity to participate in the Adult Education Program.
