Mt. Zion House For men


Mt. Zion House is a Christ-centered residential program for men seeking freedom from drug, alcohol, and other life-controlling addictions. We are located in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, on the property of Mt. Zion Christian Church and operate under the oversight of the church’s Elder Board.
Our mission is to help men experience the restorative power of Jesus Christ and find lasting transformation through a relationship with Him. The program requires a minimum 26-week commitment, which allows time for meaningful growth, healing, and life change.
Mt. Zion House is a three-phase, Christ-centered program:
Phase 1 — (4 weeks)
A structured residential phase that includes classes, counseling, group discussions, church attendance, work responsibilities, meals, housing, and recreation.
  • Non-refundable admission fee: $700
Phase 2 — (8 weeks)
A transitional phase where each man secures full-time, first-shift employment and begins taking responsibility for housing, food, and personal expenses.
Phase 3 — (14 weeks)
A continuation of Phase 2 with increased responsibilities and opportunities for added privileges based on faithfulness and accountability.

Our Foundation
Mt. Zion House was established through prayer and is fully grounded in the Word of God. We use biblical principles in all teaching, counseling, and discipleship.
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God… that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” —2 Timothy 3:16–17

Our Facility
The facility houses up to 24 men and includes:
  • Dormitory-style bedrooms
  • A large kitchen and dining area
  • Classrooms and counseling spaces
  • A chapel and common areas
A gymnasium is located a short walk away on the church property, and the 15-acre grounds include peaceful outdoor spaces, including a nearby stream ideal for prayer and study.

Additional Programming: Thinking for a Change (T4C)
Led by Bo, a certified T4C facilitator, and Chaplain Larry, Thinking for a Change (T4C) is an evidence-based curriculum that helps men learn new thinking patterns, decision-making skills, and positive behaviors.
