History

Established in February 2014, 7 Springs Ministries is a faith-based, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping restore the lives of broken people.

Women’s Residential Programs

Two residential women’s rehabilitation programs are available: Esther House in Anniston, Alabama and Coastal Women’s Rehabilitation Program in Foley, Alabama.

Men’s Residential Programs

Two residential men’s rehabilitation programs are available in Anniston, Alabama: Hollingsworth House and Eastaboga House.

Men’s Prison Re-Entry

We partner with local courts to offer a six-month Men’s Prison Re-Entry Program for individuals involved in the federal justice system.

Outpatient Services

Outpatient services are available for fourth-phase non-residential men and women who suffer from substance abuse issues.

Faith-Based Classes

GRO (God, Redemption, Opportunity), our faith-based worship and fellowship meeting, is available monthly. Freedom Recovery is held every Friday night at 6:30 p.m.

Our Mission

To provide a safe and structured environment where individuals can heal from the trauma of their past; be empowered to live a positive and healthy lifestyle; maintain sobriety; and become productive members of society.

Our Purpose

7 Springs Ministries is a refuge where the addict, ex-inmate, and sexually exploited can experience the love of God, find hope, and discover a life of joy and peace. Our purpose is to restore the broken individuals in our society so they can help rebuild our cities and make a difference in our communities.

Our Approach

We offer help to our communities through our different programs and services. Our residential men’s programs focus on rescue, recovery, and re-entry to empower men to reach their fullest potential. Our women’s programs offer safety, security, and strength for women learning to trust again and our local GRO (God, Redemption, & Opportunities) meeting is available for residents and the public.

Our Social Enterprises

Our 7 Springs Ministries thrift store offers affordable merchandise while also providing valuable employment-readiness benefits for our program participants. This social enterprise generates a significant amount of revenue to support our programs. Student intake fees and rents are other sources of revenue. However, we do consider those in dire situations for grants and/or payment arrangements.

Chief Marketing Officer

When you fully submit to the Lord you will feel him and hear him. I lived so many years in my flesh. It's not easy but if you put worldly things away and put Him first everything else will fall into place. 7 Springs Ministries saved my soul. Thank you to all the staff!

Scotty, 2018 Graduate

Through 7 Springs Ministries, I re-dedicated my life to Christ and was given the tools to not only live life, but live a joyful life through Christ. I now have hope and look forward to each new day. My family and I are stronger and more connected than ever before.

Emily, 2018 Graduate

I was never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed, or unworthy. I was created to be victorious. I finally was able to realize this when I learned who I was in Christ and how loved I truly am.
