The Hosanna Home is an adult women's program designed especially for women 18 years of age and older who have some kind of life controlling problem. The program consists of one year of intensive Bible training, other teaching on family responsibility, understanding authority and discipline and work ethic/skill development. This is all based on Biblical principles and accomplished in an atmosphere of love. 

The program is a spiritual ministry concerned with the whole person; body, soul, and spirit. It endeavors to help the resident establish integrity with God, her fellow man, her family, and herself. The program lasts for one year and may be entered at any time. For the first 30 days, residents are restricted to the home except when traveling with the group to church, special trips, etc. All communication with the outside will be handled through a staff member. 

For the first 90 days, residents cannot leave the home unless in the company of a staff member or senior resident with staff approval. After 9 months residents are encouraged to prepare to enter the workforce. At that time, a resident may be allowed to work part-time, but only with staff approval and due to extreme need i.e. child support, etc. During this time, the staff will assist in workplace ethic, financial management and responsibility. 

Any time a resident is employed or receives monies from outside the home, she will be required to pay 25% of her income to the home to help defray the cost of her residency. She is also expected to tithe 10% to the church attended by the residents. Employed residents will place the remaining portion of their income in the Hosanna Home women's account. This account is in a local bank. The resident may draw from this account for old fines, court ordered child support, voluntary child/family support, personal clothing needs and other special needs with staff approval. Upon leaving the program the resident will withdraw all the money from her account and sign a release form. 

Any resident under the age of 18 who does not have a high school diploma will not be allowed to work until she earns her GED. 

During the entire 12 months of the program all residents are required to participate in all activities of the program. It is understood that illness, family emergencies, court appearances, medical appointments, etc. will, from time to time prevent participation. Such absences from program activities will be kept to a minimum. 

Residents attend Sunday morning services at First Baptist Church in Opelika, AL with the director and evening services at church at director's choice and discretion.
