Transforming Lives at Our Men’s Campus
At the Lebanon Rescue Mission, we are committed to empowering men to live victoriously in Christ and transition into long-term, sustainable housing. Through a variety of programs, we address the unique challenges our guests face, equipping them with the spiritual and practical tools they need for lasting transformation.
Christian Life Change Program
At the heart of our mission is the Christian Life Change Program, a journey of restoration that confronts the root causes of addiction. Rather than merely addressing outward behaviors, we focus on healing the heart through a Christ-centered approach. True recovery is not just about breaking free from addiction—it is about learning to walk in relationship with God, overcoming sin through the power of Jesus Christ, and building healthy connections with others.
Recovery is a spiritual process grounded in the absolute truth of God’s Word, and it unfolds through:
- Receiving and submitting to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
- Receiving His forgiveness, breaking the chains of sin that separate us from God.
- Receiving His power to renew our minds and overcome the deep-seated struggles that fuel addiction.
With Christ as our foundation, we are called to follow Him in obedience, live abundantly, and share His message of hope with others. Success in this program requires honesty, humility, and a teachable spirit. Participants are expected to cultivate a relationship with God first, then engage with the LRM Men’s Ministry Team and fellow program members.
The Christian Life Change Program is structured around a progressive, goal-oriented step system, allowing each individual to move forward at a pace that reflects their personal growth and readiness.
Respite Program
For men battling chronic illness, our Respite Program provides a safe and supportive environment for healing—not only physically, but spiritually as well. Guests work closely with our case managers to manage medical appointments, set personal goals, and transition into stable, long-term housing.
Additionally, we serve senior men on fixed incomes who are unable to afford housing and are awaiting placement in public housing. During this waiting period, we offer shelter, guidance, and a compassionate community.
Relocate Program
Many of our guests have family in other cities or states who are willing and able to support them. Through our Relocate Program, we help reunite men with their loved ones, ensuring they return to a place where they can find stability and renewed purpose.
Relapse & Reentry Program
For men who have previously completed a Christian-based recovery program but have experienced relapse, our Relapse & Reentry Program offers an opportunity for restoration. This accelerated program helps guests reestablish their spiritual foundation, examine the factors that led to their relapse, and develop a personalized prevention plan for the future. Upon successful completion, participants have the opportunity to transition into our Graduate Program, where they receive continued support and guidance as they walk in their renewed commitment to Christ.
Veterans Program
At Lebanon Rescue Mission, we count it a privilege to walk alongside those who have served our country. Through a partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs, we offer overnight shelter as part of the Community Engagement and Reintegration Services (CERS) program. This initiative allows veterans experiencing homelessness to find safety, stability, and a pathway forward.
While staying at our Men’s Campus, veterans receive intensive case management from both LRM staff and VA representatives. In addition to material support, they are welcomed into a Christ-centered environment where they can engage in spiritual development, participate in daily campus life, and build a solid foundation for lasting change.
This is more than a shelter—it is a place of restoration and hope for those who have sacrificed so much. As veterans work to rebuild their lives, they are surrounded by a community that honors their service and points them to the healing and victory found in Christ.
Graduate Program
For men who have completed our Christian Life Change Program or Relapse & Reentry Program, the Graduate Program offers the next step toward independent living—grounded in continued accountability and spiritual growth.
Graduate residents live in LRM managed properties throughout the city, where they begin to take greater responsibility for their daily lives. Each man is expected to shop for and prepare his own meals, follow a monthly budget, and save regularly toward future independent living. Continued involvement in a local church remains a vital part of their journey, along with weekly Bible study gatherings that bring all graduate participants together for fellowship and encouragement.
This program reinforces the habits of discipline, stewardship, and community while giving each man space to grow in his walk with Christ. It is a vital bridge between structured recovery and long-term independence—equipping men to thrive as productive, faithful members of society.
At Lebanon Rescue Mission, we believe that true transformation is found in Christ alone. Through each of these programs, we seek to extend grace, provide accountability, and walk alongside each man as he discovers the abundant life God has for him.
