Our Story
Our journey began with Colleen, a remarkable individual who found herself lost in a dark path of addiction and despair. After years of struggle and failed attempts at finding help, Colleen experienced a life-altering encounter with God while incarcerated. This encounter marked the beginning of her transformation and set the course for the creation of Changed by Christ.
In prison, Colleen received a vision from God—a vision of a place called Camp Gabriel's. This place would be a sanctuary where people could find healing, restoration, and a deep connection with God. Colleen's newfound faith, and the vision she received, became the driving force behind her desire to help others break free from cycles of addiction and find their identity in Christ.
Upon her release, Colleen embarked on a journey of personal growth, becoming a recovery coach and dedicating herself to serving others. Along the way, she met Denise Greene, a kindred spirit who shared the same passion for helping those trapped in the grip of addiction. Together, they realized the urgent need for reentry services in their community. With the support of like-minded people, Changed by Christ was established as a nonprofit organization with a mission to provide comprehensive reentry services and support for individuals seeking a fresh start.
At Changed by Christ, we believe that true transformation comes through encountering the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Our programs and services are rooted in a holistic approach that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals in their journey towards recovery and reintegration. Through counseling, support groups, educational opportunities, and practical assistance, we aim to equip individuals with the tools they need to break free from the chains of addiction and lead fulfilling, purposeful lives.
We are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can experience the love of Christ and discover their true identity. Our vision is to see lives restored, families reunited, and communities transformed as individuals are empowered to live out their God-given potential.
Join us at Changed by Christ and be part of a community that believes in second chances, celebrates transformation, and is dedicated to breaking the cycle of addiction. Together, let's embrace the power of change and witness lives transformed by the love of Christ.
