Who We Are

About US

More Than A House

Changed by Christ began with one home for women coming back to Clinton County. It has grown into something wider: transitional housing, care management, peer support, and social care navigation for people moving through incarceration, homelessness, addiction, or crisis toward something steadier. What has not changed is the conviction underneath it. We believe real transformation comes through encountering the love and grace of Jesus Christ, and that people who fall through the cracks of every other system deserve someone who stays.
