Restoration Village
A Place to Belong. A Path Toward Healing.
A family-based community where teen girls can find safety, stability, and consistent support.
Our Vision
Restoration Village is Present Age Ministries’ vision for a family-based community where teen girls who have experienced sexual abuse, exploitation, or trafficking can find safety, stability, and consistent support.
The Village will bring homes, education, counseling, and shared spaces together on one campus. Its purpose is to give each girl room to heal while surrounding her with caring adults and an individualized network of support.
The Future Campus
A Campus Designed for Connection
Present Age Ministries has secured 38 acres for Restoration Village, and preliminary site planning is underway. The current vision includes six family homes, two staff homes, and a central hub for learning, counseling, activities, and gathering.
Each family home is planned for no more than two girls, giving each her own bedroom and bathroom within a supportive home setting. The campus is being designed to balance privacy with community: space to rest and feel safe, alongside places to learn, build relationships, and explore new possibilities.

Our Care Model
Care Built Around Each Girl
Healing takes time, trust, and dependable relationships. Restoration Village is being developed around a family-based model that pairs everyday stability with individualized, trauma-informed support. The planned approach brings caregivers and clinical professionals together to respond to each girl’s needs.
Counseling, education, life skills, and opportunities for connection will be part of a coordinated plan that respects her voice, choices, and pace. Our aim is to help each girl build safety and lasting relationships as she moves toward her own future.
