About Us

ETC is a 40-week long, residential, faith based program for men who are ready to make radical and dramatic changes to their lives. We refer to ourselves as a regeneration ministry because we recognize that it’s not just a minor adjustment to our old life that must be made but a brand new life, which needs to be built. We believe God is able to create that life and nurture it to maturity.

Our Programs

RE-GEN Program

The core of ETC is the Re-Gen program. We use time-tested, evidenced-based curriculum and practices during our group class time. We also contract with PHD level, trauma-informed, counselors who provide direct, 1-on-1 care to program participants on an individual basis.

Family Recovery

Chemical addiction affects the entire family. We offer biblical family counseling to help restore broken relationships and rebuild trust. Qualified graduates may apply for the Family Development program which provides subsidized family housing, a year of paid employment, and weekly family counseling.

Leadership Training

Qualified graduates may apply for Servant Leadership Development. SLT students act as peer navigators for program participants while continuing to build on their foundation in a structured environment with higher levels of responsibility and training.

Vocational Training

Program participants will learn the skilled trades of professional painting and landscaping with a high emphasis on work ethic, excellence, safety, professionalism, consistency, and positive attitude. We can place 100% of graduates into sustainable income jobs.

OUR HERITAGE

Evans Training Center was named in honor of Brother Mickey Evans, the founder of Dunklin Memorial Church, a 70 bed residential facility in Okeechobee, FL.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Upon arrival at ETC, participants can expect to be welcomed and loved by staff and other program men. A “Big-Brother” will help him get acquainted with the rules and show him the ropes.

RESTRICTIONS

Because of the focused and intense nature of our program we work hard to limit distractions.
