Recovery is about more than getting clean. It's about becoming whole.
Discovery Five Sparrows
Our Recovery Program
Tenacious Grace exists to connect hurting women with Jesus, authentic community, and lasting hope.
At the heart of our mission is Five Sparrows — a free, two-year residential program for women seeking freedom from abuse, addiction, poverty, and prostitution. More than a place to recover, Five Sparrows is a place to heal, rediscover purpose, and build a new life.
A Place at the Table
Most residential recovery programs require residents or their families to pay for care. At Five Sparrows, every woman has a place at the table—completely free of charge.
We believe cost should never be a barrier to healing. Through the generosity of individuals, churches, businesses, and our community, women are given the time, space, and support to heal, grow, and build a foundation for lasting freedom.
Our community makes this possible.
About the Home
Since opening its doors in May 2021, Five Sparrows has been intentionally designed to feel like home—peaceful, welcoming, and rooted in community. It’s a place where women are given the time and stability to truly rebuild.
And it’s working: 100% of residents who have stayed at least one year are thriving today.
JOIN THE MISSION
Tenacious Grace exists to see hurting women from all walks of life connected to Jesus and each other. All products sold and donations made help directly fund the Five Sparrows recovery home.
