Start your Foundation: Admissions to Overflow Ministries

---

Welcome to Overflow Ministries, a Christian faith based organization. Our purpose is to provide a structured, peer supported foundation for men to achieve lasting sobriety and spiritual growth. Our admissions process is designed to ensure that every resident is fully committed to our program, our values, and the principle of GRACE (Group Rent Allocation Cost Equally).

Step 1: Foundational Requirements & Accountability

We believe in a community built on mutual respect and accountability.

Community Commitment & Vote

• Democratic Process: Overflow Ministries operates on a democratic process. After your interview, your acceptance into the house requires a vote where you must secure 80% or more approval from the current residents. This process ensures mutual commitment and acceptance within the brotherhood.
• Willingness to Submit: You must be willing to commit to all house rules, attend the weekly house business meetings, and follow the guidance of your sponsor/accountability partners. 

Drug Screening Policy (Baseline Testing)

• Intake Test: Upon arrival, you will undergo a drug screening test to establish a baseline.
• Acceptance Status: While we require commitment to abstinence and recovery, we understand that recovery is a process. A positive intake test does not automatically disqualify you; however, it must be addressed as part of your immediate recovery plan. Acceptance in this situation is handled on a case by case basis following a review of your commitment and willingness to enter the process of sustained sobriety.
• Zero Tolerance: No illicit substances are allowed on the property at any time. The only exception is medication prescribed directly to you by a licensed physician and reported to house management upon intake.

Step 2: Financial Commitment (GRACE)

We believe that taking personal and financial responsibility is a core principle of maturity and commitment. Our financial structure operates with complete clarity and equality for all residents.

A. Non-Refundable Move In Fee

• Amount: $150.00
• Principle: This non refundable fee secures your bed, covers administrative intake processing, and signifies your serious commitment to joining our ministry house.

B. GRACE (Group Rent Allocation Cost Equally) Payment

• Amount:$150.00 per week
• Payment Schedule: Payments are made weekly in advance and due every Saturday. This structure is similar to paying for a hotel or short term residency, requiring residents to stay current with their obligation to the house and their brothers.
• TOTAL MOVE IN = $300.00 (This covers the Move In Fee and your first 7 days of GRACE payment.)
• Principle: By paying your GRACE contribution weekly and in advance, you are honoring your word, being a responsible steward of your finances, and ensuring the stability of the entire community.
