About us.

Who we are.

Recovery is a refuge. It opens the doors to a life of hope, glory and joy.

Out of the Ashes is the only refuge in the foothills for the uninsured, underserved and often overlooked in our community who are in need of recovery and emergency housing.

Learn more about our programs and the team that brings hope to life! We build relationships with participants, share the gospel and love them regardless of their response. Our participants are prepared to re-enter Rutherford and Polk County as productive members of society.

 

We also have a thrift store that people can donate and purchase items to help support the ministry located at 225 West Main St., Spindale, NC come on in and get yourself a good deal or help contribute to be part of the solution. We’re grateful for everybody that prays and supports us. We couldn’t do it without you. God bless you abundantly.

What we do.

Recovery Services

Recovery Services

Recovery is possible. Through classes, meetings and peer-to-peer accountability, our participants who commit to the program are on their way to a life that is happy, joyous and free. Our participants are required to give back to Rutherford and Polk during their time here through community service. We also have a program in Spanish specifically for the Hispanic/Latino community. Contact us for more information on recovery services.

Emergency Shelter

Emergency Shelter

Our refuge is always open for uninsured, underserved and overlooked. If someone is willing to make a change in their life, we’re willing to offer them a bed. Men, women and children have opportunities for housing on our campus with wrap-around support, helping them towards restoration. Before coming to campus, the participant must call and fill out an intake form.

Counseling and Discipleship

Counseling and Discipleship

Relationships are what set Out of the Ashes apart. With strong partnerships with local congregations and an equipped staff, we build relationships with our participants and share with them the hope of the gospel. We host Bible studies weekly, regularly pray over our participants, and host over 13,000 one-on-one counseling sessions a year. Grace, perseverance in suffering and peace that surpasses all understanding drive everything we do at Out of the Ashes so that ALL who seek it can embrace a life worth living. Connect your church to our mission.

“I exhausted every “good idea” I had and became so desperate for a new way of life I called Pat and Chelsea with Out of the Ashes. God put in their heart to let me come to the ministry. Today I smile and I know there is a God! No greater power could have restored me to sanity. I have 90 days clean off any mind-altering substances. I know I have a long road of recovery ahead of me but with God on my side I know I can achieve anything I put my mind to and so can you.”

Angelica

 I was fortunate enough to find Out of the Ashes ministry. It was there that I realized God was my best friend and the only way I was going to survive this addiction was through Him.

Today, I am six months sober. The Lord has completely changed my life. I am a new creation. Being sober is beautiful and l’m so thankful for the life God has created for me. I’m thankful for every trial and tribulation in my past, for it lead me to where I can stand firm today. If God can reach deep down and deliver me from the depths of hell, He too will bring you out from the ashes!

Tabatha

I gave my life to the Lord while at OOTA and everything else started falling into place. I mended my relationships with family. I was blessed to have my license back and my own car. I am now on staff… I know deep down that God sent me to OOTA to save my life. And that’s exactly what they did.
