The Family Matters program is to serve women and children of our community, meeting their physical and spiritual needs as well as equipping them with life skills and parenting tools to walk through motherhood with confidence and commitment.

Our mission statement is “supporting families through life-altering situations and rebuilding their lives on a solid, godly, and ethical foundation.”

Stay Free Ministries offers many different classes to students, which include: Inner Healing (digging deep to heal those wounds of past trauma), Cultivate class ( building disciples to further Gods kingdom), and Relapse prevention: making us aware of the triggers and the biblical strategies to come against those triggers. We also offer a 7 week parenting class called “ Families Count” which is offered once a year and is court and DHR accredited.

Please note: that SFM Family Matters is a all female facility. You must identify as a female and have the anatomy of a female.
