The ages of the Christian Family Center men range from 25 to 40, although a few have been as young as 19 and others are approaching senior status. Some of them admit themselves with support from family. Others are mandated by court/probation/parole.

Stuckey said, while touring the campus, "The rules are simple - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

The CFC's mission is to provide a Christian environment for men seeking recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. The goal is to meet the physical and spiritual needs of men as we teach them Bible Based Recovery.

The center's belief is that spiritual awakening is necessary to staying clean and being happy and productive.

While being Christian, CFC is interdenominational and does not ask a man to accept any church creed and dogma that would conflict with their own personal beliefs. Daily Bible study and chapel attendance are required.
