Who is eligible for residency at Wings of God?

Any women currently or previously incarcerated who are looking for a faith-based, one year in-house program.

How does one get accepted to Wings of God?

The process begins with notifying Wings of God about your interest via a letter in the mail or contact our office for an interview. You may also complete the program application and mail it to Wings of God.

What if I’m pregnant, can I still come to Wings of God?

Our programming is not set up to accommodate pregnant women or children. But we do offer visits with children during scheduled visitation.

What if I am not from Van Buren County, MI and I have probation, parole, or drug court requirements in another county?

Your court-ordered supervision such as probation, parole, and drug court requirements may be eligible to be transferred to Van Buren County.

Is Wings of God a homeless shelter?

We are not a homeless shelter, jail, KPEP, adult daycare, mental health institution, domestic violence shelter, or bed and breakfast.

How long will Wings of God hold a bed for me?

No more than 30 days, however, this is negotiable on a case by case basis. We suggest you contact us 60 days prior to your desired placement date/release date.

Do I have to come right from jail if approved?

Yes. If you are currently incarcerated we want you coming directly to Wings of God; we will pick you up at the jail. Failure to do so may disqualify you from our program.

Do I have to be a Christian to apply? 

The simple answer is no. There is no requirement to be a Christian to come to Wings of God.  Wings of God Transition Home does provide a Christian living environment where Christian principles are taught and the Word of God is shared daily. It is our hope that you would choose to become a follower of Christ.

How do I inquire for a loved one or friend that could benefit from the program?

Wings of God requires that the person in need of help contact us directly. Family/friends who want information about the program can review our webpage and/or contact us with any questions. We would also be glad to pray with you.

Can I be sentenced to Wings of God?

Yes, provided you have been approved by Wings of God and the court also approves the placement.

Can I be on probation, parole, or other court programs?

Yes, however, we cannot accept those with restraining orders on or against them.

Can I work full-time while in the program? 

Pearls are allowed to work part time (25-30 Hours) during phase 2 (after completing 60 days in phase 1). Once they are in phase 3, which is around 6 months in the program, Pearls are allowed to work full time. They must work around programming and classes. We do not allow third shift work hours.
