The Dwelling Place: Christ Centered
To use the term Christ-centered is to understand that it is referring to a singular way for how to live one’s life. A Christocentric life, therefore, is a life that is built on, and around, a commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The ministry and mission of The Dwelling Place has been built from the ground up as a Christ-centered ministry that provides healing and hope to women and children who have been victims of domestic abuse. If Christ were not at the core of this ministry, The Dwelling Place would not be able to offer the hope and healing for those who come through their doors.
The Dwelling Place: Trauma Informed
The Dwelling Place is a place of healing and hope. Our mission is the commitment to providing peaceful and safe shelter, education, encouragement, support, and therapy for the women and children. The facility is equipped to meet the basic needs of women and children and help them heal their lives while they transform the family legacy.

Building trust in a relationship involves several important character traits as well as attitudes, and behaviors in both partners. The first and the most important trait is honesty which leads to an agreement to be truthful, having no secrets. Second is a consistent pattern of respectful and responsible communication with encouragement and support. Third is to express the desire to understand your own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about the relationship and then to consider the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of your partner.
