Mustard Seed Homes

The Basics

Located in Clearbrook, Minnesota, which is northwest of Minneapolis and just 100 miles from the Canadian border, Mustard Seed Homes is a division of The Clear Waters Life Center, a non-profit faith-based organization. Mustard Seed Homes provides long-term transitional living for men. Residents participate in a long-term transitional care program, which provides life skills, counseling, discipleship and other supportive services designed to help them get back on their feet, while they learn to rely on Christ as their Higher Power. Mustard Seed Homes are named in honor of the parable in which Christ told His disciples that, with just a tiny measure of faith, the size of a mustard seed, they could move mountains.

Accommodations and Amenities

Mustard Seed Homes is located on the top floor of The Clear Waters Life Center, and is an apartment, which accommodates eight men. The apartment includes a comfortably furnished living room and fully equipped kitchen. Clients are paired in spacious rooms which include twin beds, a dresser, a desk, chair and lamps. A window provides ample sunlight. Clients are responsible for their own groceries, and meal preparation. Residential managers live on the premises, and provide around the clock supervision.

Rules and Regulations

Potential clients must complete an application, followed by a comprehensive interview to ensure that Mustard Seed Homes is a good match. Prior to admission, clients must have undergone detox. The length of stay is typically 12 months, and clients progress through various levels. The first phase lasts 30 days. During this time, clients receive counseling, work on social skills, develop vocational skills, attend church and connect with the program dean on a weekly basis.

The second phase, which lasts three months, continues the same protocol as the first phase, but clients also learn budgeting and financial management. The third phase focuses on establishing a strong connection to Christ, as well as goal setting. During the ninth and tenth months, residents become apprentices at approved vocational sites or enroll in online college. During the last phase, residents prepare to transition back into society. Throughout the program, clients must attend regular church services and participate in daily Bible studies.

The 30-day cost is $1,700 but financially challenged clients are eligible for state funding which offsets some of the costs.

Extras

Other services include life skills coaching, money management, an exercise program, spiritual mentoring, individual and group therapy with a LADC, educational classes, and a weekly recovery support group. Class topics include spiritual growth, anger management, and parenting.

“The Most Excellent Way” is the weekly faith-based recovery support group offered at 7 pm on Thursdays, at the Clear Waters Life Center.

In Summary

For men in recovery who are seeking a strong connection to Christ, as well as a chance to rebuild their lives, Mustard Seed Homes might be a great option. There is a strong sense of fellowship here, as well as vocational guidance and other supportive services.
