Be Proactive. Not Reactive.
Together we can end intimate partner violence.
Intimate Partner Violence, a generation ago considered a private problem, is now hailed as a nationwide epidemic. The local church simply cannot afford to be silent or complacent on this issue! It is time for us to claim our responsibility to love and protect the people within our congregations and communities.
“So that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it… now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” - 1 Corinthians 12:25-27
House of Faith and Freedom (HOFF) is dedicated to creating practical resources for individuals, ministries, and faith communities to deal with domestic violence effectively. Between the introductory book and associated trainings, you will gain a new perspective on abuse and a starting point for developing a custom set of best-practices.
Mission.
To start conversations around the issue of intimate partner violence, educate the Church on Christ-centered advocacy techniques, and send them out equipped to serve victims of abuse in their congregation and community.
