GG's House Giving GraceLIFE TRANSFORMATION CAMPUS
GG's House has carefully evaluated this long vacant property and determined that it aligns with the vision for a permanent Life Transformation Campus. The property has not yet been acquired. What follows is an honest walk through what exists today, why it matters, and how GG's House is responsibly working toward acquisition and restoration.
The first time we walked this campus, we saw a lot of work ahead of us.
The buildings had been sitting empty for a long time, and it was obvious they would need a lot of care before they could serve anyone again.
But honestly... that isn't what stayed with us.
As we walked from building to building, we kept imagining the people.
We pictured children discovering new interests after school. Teenagers learning a trade that could change the direction of their lives. Families sharing meals and making memories together. Volunteers serving side by side. Seniors passing down wisdom. Neighbors gathering, learning, encouraging one another, and building friendships that last.
We know this campus won't be transformed overnight. It will take prayer, planning, hard work, generous people, and a community willing to believe in something bigger than themselves.
When we look at this property, we don't just see buildings.
We see what can happen because of them.
We'd love for you to walk the campus with us, see it honestly, and imagine what it might become.
Steve & Angel Sheets · Founders of GG's HouseThe campus has been vacant and shows deterioration, vandalism, overgrowth, and years without regular care. We are showing that reality openly because responsible stewardship means facing the work honestly. The property has been carefully evaluated, and the planning already completed now guides the work of securing and restoring it.
For nearly a decade, GG's House has grown through trusted relationships, practical support, volunteers, and thousands of acts of kindness. GG's House is pursuing this property because it offers that work room to grow, not because the buildings themselves need to be rescued.
Every life deserves another chance. We believe places can too, but only when the place serves the people.
What makes this property unusual is the combination of existing spaces designed for living, learning, working, gathering, and growing, all in one connected setting.
Residential and kitchen areas offer space for rest, structure, and recovery.
Classrooms, laboratories, and shops were created for education and practical career skills.
Recreation, performance, dining, office, and gathering spaces can welcome many generations.
Gardens, agricultural areas, and open land provide room for food, service, and outdoor learning.
GG's House has spent significant time evaluating this opportunity with its board and experienced professionals. That work confirmed the property's strong alignment with the long term vision and shaped a responsible campaign. The foundation is in place; the work ahead is to secure the property and carry that preparation into each stage of restoration.
This overview shows how the places to live, learn, work, gather, create, and grow connect across the property. It is an introduction to what exists, not a final plan.
The evaluation phase is complete. This sequence carries that foundation through acquisition, restoration, and a careful opening.
The labels make it clear what is current, what was photographed earlier, and what is only a future concept. But the heart of the walk is simpler: seeing how each part of the campus is intended to help people find stability, confidence, skills, and belonging.
Residential spaces matter because rest, stability, routine, and supportive relationships can give people room to rebuild.
Why it matters: A place for rest, stability, recovery, and the relationships that help people move forward.
From the residential wing, the path turns toward the places where learning can become a new beginning.
These learning spaces are envisioned for tutoring, practical classes, life skills, recovery education, and knowledge that strengthens long term independence.
Why it matters: Education for children, families, and adults at every stage of life.
Just beyond the classrooms, learning becomes hands on.
The existing shop space is designed for hands on instruction, mentorship, practical experience, and skills that can lead to meaningful employment.
Why it matters: Real tools, real instruction, and practical skills that can open doors to work and confidence.
Continuing toward the center of campus, the experience shifts from training to welcome.
A clear front door gives families, volunteers, partners, and supporters a place to begin and someone to connect with.
Why it matters: A trusted front door where people feel seen, volunteers are coordinated, and community partners can work together.
Nearby, the scale opens up, a place made less for passing through than for coming together.
The existing gymnasium offers room for recreation, sober events, family activities, youth programs, and gatherings across generations.
Why it matters: A place where the community can move, gather, celebrate, and belong.
Outside again, the walk grows quieter.
These neglected outdoor areas hold space for growing food, learning stewardship, working side by side, and sharing a harvest.
Why it matters: A living classroom where children, families, seniors, and volunteers can grow, learn, and serve together.
At the far side of the campus, another kind of possibility comes into view.
Theater, music, movement, rehearsal, and production spaces are presented as one connected community resource, not a series of separate promises.
Why it matters: Creativity can help people find confidence, share stories, practice teamwork, and experience belonging.
The true value is in the relationships, skills, gatherings, dignity, and second chances that can grow here. This vision is meant to hold a place for children, families, seniors, volunteers, people rebuilding their lives, and community partners.
The buildings are the opportunity. People are the purpose.
