The RACE Program

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (1 Cor 9:24-25, 27 KJV)

The RACE Program is a twelve-month residential program for people with life controlling problems– chemical addiction, criminal history, and behavioral dysfunctions. The program consists of two phases, each lasting approximately six months.

PHASE 1–Main Focus
 

• Spirituality - Residents receive training and direction, facing problem areas and issues, as well as becoming familiar with the program and the staff. After the initial experience, we begin to rebuild that which has been torn down – i.e. values, hope, incentive, ambition, desire, confidence, self-discipline, character and attitudes toward authority.

• Well Being – A considerable amount of time is spent dealing with areas of bitterness and grievances caused by past hurts from life experiences, parents, etc. We will teach the resident to set healthy boundaries for his life. We will instill the fact that actions produce results and consequences.

• Discipline – Our main goal is to provide a safe environment that promotes spiritual growth through our Lord Jesus Christ. CareCenter Ministries, like any other facility, has its own set of rules and regulations to which residents must adhere. We also understand this requires certain degrees of discipline.

PHASE II–Continued Enrichment

Phase II will continue the main focus of Phase I, meanwhile, we feel at this level residents have instilled some principles and guidelines for themselves that will allow them to handle making good decisions. This phase duration is also 6 months, pending Pastor’s approval. Some additional responsibilities, which they will be held accountable for, but not limited to include:

• Employment
• Money Management
• Time Management
• Relationships

These principles are going to be the only thing that will save the resident from himself and allow him to live free from the bondage of this world once the program is completed.

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good habits” (I Corinthians. 15:33)
