Our Story

L O V I N G  O T H E R S IS WHAT WE DO.

The Ruby Project is a faith-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to equipping adults with the biblical tools, structure, and accountability they need to move forward after crisis management service are completed by professional care or other life transitions services.

 

What sets us apart?

We provide post-care biblical coaching, healing arts workshops, and discipleship-based life skills programs to help participants build long-term stability and thrive in their God-given purpose.

Founded on Proverbs 31:10 — “She is worth far more than rubies” — and Psalm 1:3 — “He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever he does prospers” — we believe every person has immeasurable value in Christ.

 

Our programs create safe, structured spaces where mainly women can grow in their faith, relationships, and daily life without the constraints or compromises of secular counseling models.

Target Audience

  • Adults only — We do not serve minors.

  • Individuals who have completed initial professional counseling, treatment, or pastoral care and are ready to take the next steps in structured, accountable growth.

  • Men and women seeking biblical guidance, practical skills, and community to help them live out their faith in everyday life.

Our Approach

We are not a crisis center and do not accept individuals in acute mental health crisis. We serve adults who:

  • Have been vetted and referred through professionals, churches, or community partners.

  • Are ready to actively participate in structured, biblical growth programs.

  • Commit to working with accountability, consistency, and a willingness to apply what they learn.

Our Team

Dedication. Expertise. Commuity Servants

Our team is a dedicated group of individuals who guide our organization with a strong commitment to spiritual values, prioritizing service, compassion, integrity, and collaboration, all grounded in our shared faith, ensuring that our decisions and actions align with our higher purpose and benefit the community we serve.
