Where We're Headed
A PLACE TO REST AND RESET
Located in Pinellas County, Florida, Selah Place is a peaceful, retreat-like setting in the midst of a busy metropolitan area. It has been said many times of this hidden sanctuary that “cares seem to melt away and peace overwhelm you as you cross the threshold of the property”. The natural park-like setting provides the perfect space for women and their children to begin to rebuild their lives on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ within a supportive, loving community.

A PLACE TO CALL HOME
The community setting will consist of 7 private single-family homes.
Although small, each home will contain a full kitchen, family room,
bathroom, 2-3 bedrooms and a private front porch. These houses
will provide low-cost, comfortable accommodations for families for
15-18 months.
A PLACE TO RESTART & REBUILD
Part of “getting back on one’s feet” consists of learning or relearning how to exist and live free from past vices. Women will be given the necessary support to begin to function as contributing members of society. Securing a job and beginning to save for future housing will be the first step. Women will also be provided with guidance in accessing services and resources within the local community. Education and job-training will be strongly encouraged and fully supported.
A PLACE TO GROW IN COMMUNITY
While privacy for every family to live and grow together is an important value of Selah Place, growing in Community is also an integral part of the program. A community center in the middle of campus will consist of space and accommodations for the community’s families to meet, eat, fellowship, worship, study, and learn together. A computer lab, prayer room, community kitchen, and laundry facilities will be available for use of Selah’s residents as well.
A PLACE TO FIND FREEDOM
As part of the program at Selah Place, all women and their children will be taught the truth about Jesus Christ, His desire to have a relationship with them, and the true freedom that can be found only in Him. Families will be given opportunities to participate in Bible studies, worship services, and one-on-one mentorship to aid in their spiritual growth. Because we so firmly believe Jesus Christ is our only true source of hope, peace, and freedom, a desire to learn and grow in relationship with Him is a must for women coming to Selah Place.
