We are rapidly approaching 2 years of service to the homeless.  It is almost difficult to remember that just 3 years ago we were just a concrete slab and a dream but thanks to the support of our community we have completed our building and served hundreds of people . Our capacity is 34 and we have been full to capacity for quite a while. In fact, over the past 2 years  we have served over 19,000 bed/nights and 38,000 meals.  We have a continuous cycling of residents.  As they find jobs and permanent housing new applicants arrive to take their spaces.  We keep a waiting list of people who need housing and call them as beds become available. 



The stories behind our residents are many and varied. Some have been displaced by storms along the coast or by fire, some have been evicted from their houses or apartments and some have arrived in town for promised jobs only to have the jobs fall through.  We have had male and female individuals as well as single men and women with families.  Many children have come to the Lodge.  They have ranged in age from birth to 16 years.  School-aged children attend schools in Cleburne and Joshua. Five babies have been born to women while they were residents at the Lodge. 


The most encouraging part of this ministry is to watch as residents find jobs, save up money and then get places of their own.

The Johnson County Christian Lodge is supported both through the gifts of individuals concerned about our ministry, and the gifts of local churches who see the Johnson County Christian Lodge as a significant home missions ministry and resource center. It is our goal to maintain as low an overhead as possible. There are some very real needs in terms of staff support, equipment, and materials that can only be met by the continual support of concerned individuals and churches. The Johnson County Christian Lodge has no other means of support.
