ABOUT UNITED HOUSE

United House Ministry Ellis County, Texas

Restoring Lives. Strengthening Families. Building New Beginnings.

United House is a faith-based nonprofit organization committed to helping individuals and families overcome barriers, rebuild stability, and move forward with hope. 


We serve people navigating reentry, recovery, relationship and family challenges, employment barriers, and major life transitions. Through practical support, education, coaching, advocacy, and community partnerships, we help people access the tools and opportunities they need to build stronger, healthier, and more independent lives. 


At United House, we believe lasting change happens when people are supported, not just in one area of life, but as a whole person. 

Our Story

United House was founded with a heart for people who needed an opportunity to begin again. 


Our work began by supporting individuals impacted by incarceration, recovery, and the difficult transition back into their families and communities. Through that work, we quickly learned that rebuilding a life involves much more than finding housing or employment. 


Incarceration, addiction, financial hardship, family disruption, and other major life challenges rarely affect just one person. Their impact reaches spouses, children, relationships, careers, and entire families. 


That understanding shaped the United House of today. 


While reentry and recovery remain an important part of our work, our mission has grown to support individuals and families facing a wider range of barriers. We provide practical resources, relational support, education, coaching, and connections to community services that help people move from instability toward greater confidence, independence, and hope. 


We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to move forward, and sometimes, the right support at the right moment can change the direction of a life. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower individuals and families to overcome barriers, rebuild stability, and create healthier, more independent futures. 


Through faith-centered support, practical resources, education, coaching, reentry and recovery services, and community partnerships, United House walks alongside people as they take meaningful steps toward lasting change.  

OUR APPROACH

Lasting Change Takes More Than One Solution.

Life's challenges are interconnected.


Employment can create financial stability, but people may also need education, encouragement, healthy relationships, recovery support, conflict resolution, or help navigating community resources.


That is why United House takes a whole-person, relationship-centered approach to service.

Faith

Our Christian faith is the foundation of who we are and inspires us to serve others with compassion, dignity, grace, and hope. 

Relationships

Healthy relationships and strong support systems matter. We help individuals and families strengthen communication, navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and develop healthier connections. 

Resources

Sometimes progress begins with knowing where to turn. We connect people with practical resources, education, services, and community partners that can help remove barriers. 

Opportunity

A person's past or present circumstances do not have to determine their future. We help people identify possibilities, develop skills, and take practical steps toward greater stability and independence.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Jesus Is the Cornerstone

Our faith guides how we serve. We seek to reflect the love, compassion, grace, and hope of Jesus in the way we care for people and our community. 

All People Matter

Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. We believe a person's circumstances, struggles, or past mistakes do not diminish their value. 

We Grow Better Together

Change is difficult to sustain alone. Healthy relationships, supportive communities, and meaningful partnerships help people grow stronger and go further.  

You Were Made for More

We believe the past does not have to define the future. Every person has purpose, potential, and the capacity to build something new.
