Our Vision
We envision a world where women and their families — regardless of past hardships — are empowered with skills and a supportive community to live with purpose and thrive in their futures.
Our Mission
Every day, Sisters In Christ works to address gaps in the community support system—particularly for the formerly incarcerated and unhoused—by providing resources for mental health, substance abuse recovery, affordable housing, employment, and family stability in Kansas City.
Our Approach
We take a holistic, community-centered approach by offering direct support, advocacy, and resources tailored to the unique challenges of the formerly incarcerated and unhoused. Through skill-building and a strong support network, we empower individuals and families to rebuild their lives with stability, purpose, and dignity.

Tour Our Housing Programs
Sisters In Christ operates three accredited transitional homes in Kansas City's urban core—Carolyn’s House of Faith, Serenity House, and Habakkuk House—for women experiencing homelessness and reentering the community after incarceration.
Each year, we provide safe, stable housing for 50 to 60 women, offering a supportive environment where residents can share challenges, build life skills, and work toward self-sufficiency. Our homes are accredited by the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) and certified by the Missouri Department of Mental Health to ensure the highest standards of care.
