Phase 1
Participants complete orientation, spiritual assessment, and accountability covenants, then receive a house tour and weekly schedule. Basic provisions are supplied, and within those 60 days. With the help of the ROD Aftercare Team, they must secure ID, benefits, health screenings, and attend job readiness training and career fairs. A 60-day assessment confirms readiness to move forward.
Phase 2
Participants are called to live a God-centered life by attending required meetings, walking with a mentor, working or engaging in job search/service activities, and managing their finances with stewardship and accountability. They are expected to interact well with house members, actively grow in faith through prayer, Bible study, and ministry, and participate in financial planning classes. A 90-day assessment will determine readiness to move into the transition phase.
Phase 3
The final phase prepares participants to exit “ROD’s House” with stability and faith. By this stage, they have steady employment, savings, and secure housing, along with strong spiritual growth and accountability. Surrounded by a supportive faith community, they are equipped to live interdependently and continue as faithful witnesses for Jesus Christ.
