Serenity House
/ Door Of Hope
is a Christ-centered recovery house for men, located at 305 S. Ohio
Avenue in Sidney, Ohio,
just south of the Shelby County Courthouse Square.
Founded in 1980 as a secular recovery house,
Serenity House was later led into the beginning stages of transition
to a Christian program by a
new director. This director was
responsible for keeping Serenity
House open through very difficult
times, and there would no longer be a Serenity House without his
efforts.
Serenity House is now overseen by a volunteer staff; Serenity's house
director and co-director, spiritual director, financial director, and staff pastors and
ministers. Many of these men of God credit Christ Jesus for
their own complete deliverance from drugs and alcohol. Other
Christian men from the community are also actively involved with mentoring
the men in the recovery house.
While many may refer Serenity House as a recovery house, it is
actually much more. While the addictions which plague our
residents must be effectively and permanently eliminated from their
lives, Serenity House does not simply purpose to "get men clean."
The purpose of Serenity House is to help men to learn how to live
personally, financially, and spiritually responsible lives as men of
God and disciples of Jesus Christ.
A two-fold message is going out to the men of Serenity House; that we
are able to see our lives effectively and permanently changed in every
way through Christ Jesus, but that we are personally helpless to
effectively and permanently succeed in any way outside of Him.
By the plain Truth spoken in genuine love, some of the precious men of
Serenity House are hearing, believing and living the understanding that
inner peace, liberty, true manhood and eternity lie in Christ Jesus alone.
