Our Vision
To see people step into the fullness of who they are created to be.
“I believe when people join our program, it’s one step toward abolishing poverty. I truly believe that when people come here, we will see people sent out as influential people in our community equipped to thrive. Only then do I believe we will begin to see revival stir in our city.” — Pablo Contreras
Our Mission
Equip
We aim to equip our clients with various resources to help them grow and develop. We accomplish this by providing access to Godly discipleship, mentorship programs, multiple classes, accountability, community service opportunities, and volunteering projects. By being a part of our community, people will grow as individuals and develop a more profound sense of purpose and belonging.
Empower
At the core of our objectives lies the promotion of healthy risk-taking behaviors, the exploration of novel opportunities, the assumption of personal responsibility, and the cultivation of growth in both the physical and spiritual domains. We aim to inspire individuals to venture beyond their comfort zones, seize the moment, and embark on a journey of self-discovery. By embracing these values, we strive to empower people to achieve their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.
Launch
Our organization is dedicated to assisting individuals in reaching their full potential and living a life of purpose and satisfaction through the guidance and blessings of God. We strive to provide the necessary support and resources to empower individuals to overcome challenges and achieve personal goals. Our ultimate goal is to help people live meaningful and fulfilling lives aligning with their values and beliefs.

Requirements to apply.
-
Our primary mission is to minister to individuals who desire life transformation, seek stable housing, and desire to be part of a supportive community. However, we are not a shelter and do not provide short-term or temporary stays. Our program is designed for those committed to long-term growth and transformation.
-
We are not a drug or alcohol rehabilitation center, nor are we equipped to serve in that capacity. If you are currently struggling with addiction, we encourage you to seek help through a rehabilitation program before applying.
If you are a male needing a program-based recovery program, we recommend contacting the House of Disciples in Longview.
-
All applicants are required to complete a drug and alcohol test as part of the application process. Your results will help us determine eligibility for the program.
-
Our program is structured to help you THRIVE, not survive. Applicants must be either unemployed or willing to leave their current jobs to fully engage in our process and culture.
This commitment ensures you can focus on personal growth and community involvement without external distractions.
-
A background check is required for the safety of our staff, volunteers, and Thrive members. It also helps us understand your past challenges and identify ways to best support you on your journey.
-
Having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify you from our program. However, specific standards ensure we can effectively serve you and the community.
If your history does not meet our requirements, do not lose hope—we will do our best to guide you toward other resources that may be a better fit.
-
We are committed to fostering a supportive and stable community. We recognize the importance of mental health and want to ensure that all applicants are in a place where they can fully engage and thrive within our program.
We ask applicants to disclose any history of mandatory or court-ordered mental health treatment and current medications as part of the application process. This information does not disqualify anyone from joining but helps us better understand their situation and determine whether Thrive is a good fit.
Our goal is to create an environment where every member can grow and succeed.
