Reclaiming Alcohol and Drug Addicted Men Through Christ and Christian Love

Penfield Christian Home is a Christ-centered ministry for reclaiming the lives of adult men suffering from addiction to drugs and alcohol. Penfield has been in operation for over twenty-eight years, helping approximately 640 men a year find freedom from addiction and live happy, productive lives through our unique, Christ-centered approach. The men are taught to apply, through the power of Jesus Christ, Biblical principles as expressed in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. At Penfield Christian Home, these principles are referred to as Twelve Steps for Successful Christian Living. The ministry of Penfield is rooted in the belief that recovery from the addictive use of alcohol and drugs can be achieved through a personal faith in Jesus Christ.

With two locations in Greene County, Georgia, and LaFayette, Georgia, our program has met the standards established by the Georgia Association of Recovery Residences (GARR) and features:

Bible Study   Spiritual Guidance
Individual and Group Counseling Family Education and Counseling
Drug and Alcohol Education Recreation and Work Activity
Relapse Prevention Training Overcomer's Outreach Meetings
AA/NA Open Meetings Church Attendance
PENFIELD CHRISTIAN HOME, INC. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which would constitute any donation as fully tax deductible.

North Campus Purchase and Porch Project! See some photos.

Praise the Lord! On Tuesday March 4th 2008, Lem Clark, David Jordan, and Ben Sitton met with Allen Hill, the seller of the property where our North Campus is located, and from whom we had been leasing the building and grounds.  That afternoon, Lem Clark signed the papers and Penfield Christian Home, Inc became the proud new owners of Penfield Christian Home North Campus.  And we didn’t waste a bit of time!  Over the past few weeks, crews have been volunteering their time and resources to add beautiful porches to the front and back of the building.  Some pictures of the purchase closing and porch project are here.  We want to say a special thank you to:

  • Dr. Standard and the Briarwood Baptist Church Men for Labor and Construction
  • Blake Bourg of Rome Concrete Services
  • Alan Hicks from Second Baptist Church in Lafayette for the Siding
  • Mike Benson for Supervision of the Project
  • Michael Maxwell for Framing and Many Other Various Tasks
  • And Most of All - Our Heavenly Father for Blessing us with This Opportunity!!!

Kitchen Expansion Moving Along Well!
CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES! See some photos and a time-lapse video.
The new kitchen is nearing completion! The cost of the project is estimated to be near $250,000. We received a grant for $150,000 but still need more funds. The remainder will be raised through donations. Included in the expansion is new kitchen equipment and new audio/visual equipment. Plans now are for a completion date of September 2007. If you would like to be a part of this much needed expansion please send your donation to Penfield Christian Home 1061 Mercer Circle Union Point, GA 30669.

Northern Expansion!

See some photos of our new PCH North Campus, now open and taking clients in Lafayette, GA. Penfield’s current facilities cannot meet the demands placed on the ministry and with the future demands looming, the satellite concept is a workable option. If you would like to help this project as it gets up and running, please call Lem Clark at 706-453-7929.

From the Executive Director:

“…Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns.” Rev. 19:6 (NKJ).

I am in awe at what the Lord has accomplished and the blessings He continues to send to Penfield Christian Home! We had a vision of a new building that would provide additional client rooms and administration space and the Lord brought this to a reality in 2004. The year 2005 was spent acclimating to the new building and the start of the renovation of the Herring Dorm which continued into early 2006. Sidewalks were poured and a laundry house was constructed during 2006. We are now planning a much needed expansion of the dining hall and kitchen to accommodate the additional staff and client population. This expansion is estimated to cost $250,000 and it is our desire to get started immediately. Several preliminary steps have already been completed. If you would like to be a part of this phase of our building expansion please send your gift now. The Lord God will bless you!

Our ministry to those who are suffering from substance abuse continues to grow. At this time we are working with committees in both Northwest and Southeast Georgia to start a “Penfield” in those locations. Please keep this work in your prayers.

Although our Mary and Joseph were turned away because there was no room for them, it is Penfield’s mission to make sure no client is turned away because of lack of space. It is my prayer that you will celebrate with joy the birth of the Savior who reigns!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Lem Clark

Penfield Program Progressing to Peak:

The Lord is really working at Penfield. The completion of the new dorm increased our capacity by over 66%. New administrative and staff offices connected to the dorms help bring the staff closer together with each other and the clients. The contributions of volunteered time and money we received have been a blessing. Our clients are also enjoying a full court gymnasium with nightly games and activities. The recently completed renovation of the old dorm rooms brings our total capacity to 50 beds. Due to the addition of the new beds we have eliminated the 3 to 4 week wait for admission and are maintaining maximum occupancy. Of course this expanded program is not without growing pains. Our expansion project is still going strong and we still need your help and support. If you would like to be part of God's growing ministry here please contact our staff or donate online.
