We are designed to make Disciples of Christ, and our recovery is centered on the principles and disciplines found in the Bible. We need our Students to be willing to surrender and give 100%. If you cannot handle being without a relationship or have a problem with someone getting in your business, you need to stop filling out this application. Remember your way does not work, so you must be willing to allow us to help you develop a new way of living. We have never had anyone surrender to the structure of the program and fail! Those who fail are those who refuse to surrender and try to hold onto the old way of living.

Participants are expected to refrain from engaging in romantic relationships—whether emotional or physical—during their time at Abba House. This is a critical season devoted to personal healing, growth, and restoration of one’s relationship with God. (This does not apply to individuals who are legally married.)
We strongly encourage all participants to place any existing romantic involvement on hold while in the program. Entering into or continuing such relationships may be considered a violation of the program agreement.
When the time comes for you to transition into independent living, you will be better equipped—spiritually, emotionally, and mentally—for a healthy relationship. By signing this agreement, you have committed to this standard. Our hope and prayer is that, in God’s timing, you will find a spouse who is truly a blessing from the Lord.
