HOLISTIC HEALTH
PHYSICAL - Each teen is put into a consistent routine of daily exercise. They are taught healthy eating habits and how to cook and shop for themselves.
EMOTIONAL - Teens meet daily with qualified counselors where they are allowed to express their feelings and work through their issues in a safe environment.
INTELLECTUAL - Students at Genesis will continue their education and at the completion of the program will be able to either re-enter High School at their anticipated grade level or be ready to receive their GED in preparation for college. They are also trained in various daily living skills and learn the value of a healthy work ethic.
SPIRITUAL - The core belief of Genesis Ministries is that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the only way to fulfill our purpose in life. Each teen is required to have daily devotional time for prayer and Bible reading as well as spending time with Christian mentors.
THE PROGRAM
Level 1 - The “at risk” teens are brought to Genesis Ranch where they live with house parents who give them one on one, 24/hr attention. The goal is to remove all negative influences and establish an environment that enables them to begin the journey towards wholeness.
Level 2 - When 24/hr attention is no longer needed, the teens move into Level 2 housing where they continue to make progress through the Daily Living Skills Program.
Level 3 - More freedom and responsibility is given to the teenager and family counseling begins. Teen and family are encouraged to talk openly with each other under the guidance of a facilitator. Also, preparation begins for Middle School or High School testing.
Level 4 - GED, Middle School or High School tests are taken and the teens begin making scheduled home visits as they prepare to rejoin their families.
Our Vision
Is to bring “at risk” teens from all walks of life into a place of reprieve, restoration and redirection; in order to remove all distractions from the teenagers’ lives so they can begin to understand their purpose. We will then work with families to help establish boundaries, consistency and focus as we enable teens to re-enter society as a positive and productive part of their family relationship.
OUR MISSION
Genesis Ministries is a place for teenagers to begin to understand their purpose in life with the knowledge that they have the spiritual authority to positively impact their culture rather than having that culture impact and change them.
