Jesus House is a faith-led nonprofit that provides free support to people in Oklahoma City facing substance use disorder, homelessness, and poverty. Many who come through our doors are seeking to transform and improve their lives after experiencing challenges that have led to unemployment, homelessness, financial hardship, and addiction cycles.
We meet them where they are, offering long-term residential recovery. Our program houses up to 70 men and women committed to rebuilding their lives. Guided by the love and example of Jesus Christ, our dedicated staff, volunteers, and addiction recovery residents work to improve the lives of those seeking change and facing significant challenges on any given day.
Our Mission
Jesus House helps individuals overcome substance use disorder, homelessness, and poverty through dignified, accountable, faith-based recovery.
Our Vision
We envision a restored community where individuals experience lasting recovery, renewed purpose, and the opportunity to thrive — treated with dignity and respect.
Our History
Founded by Sister Ruth Wynne and Sister Betty Adams, Jesus House opened in 1973 in a storefront building at Reno and Walker Avenues. Their compassionate care laid the foundation for what is now a strong, evidence-based addiction and recovery program serving Oklahoma City for over 50 years.
Faith
We believe in the healing power of a relationship with God, made possible only by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ. Our commitment to the Gospel compels us to uphold human dignity and serve with Christ-like compassion and love in all we do.
Accountability
We hold ourselves accountable for the quality and effectiveness of our programs, the stewardship of our resources, and the commitments we make to residents, volunteers, donors, and the broader community.
Integrity & Respect
We maintain the highest standards of ethical and professional behavior, valuing honesty, transparency, and the unique talents, experiences, and perspectives of every individual.
