social 
- the evangel house difference
Every student is included as a valued member of the peer group at EHCA. The unique social structures cultivate 360-degree feedback from peers, parents, and professional staff. Such feedback hones students' awareness of their behavior and its effects on themselves and others. The connection between their actions and resulting consequences is emphasized in order to develop enhanced social skills. At Evangel House, consistent social structures, biblical guidance, and 360-degree feedback produce emotional growth and social maturity.
- positive peer culture
With supervision, students develop the social atmosphere, group therapeutic progress, and spiritual tone of campus life. A positive peer culture is fostered that emphasizes social responsibility, accountability, and leadership. The staff leads weekly interactive small-group meetings to teach character development within their current social interactions. Here students learn relevant ways to apply biblical teachings to their actions. Students progress, they learn to look beyond themselves to provide encouragement and support for others.
Students participate in a variety of positive peer culture development activities:
-
Biblical Character Development
-
Discipleship Small Group Meetings
-
Leadership Training
-
Student Council
-
Weekly Zone Group Staff Feedback
- community living
Dorm life at EHCA emphasizes community living with shared responsibilities such as laundry and meal preparation in order to manage the campus. Students learn practical life-management skills while contributing to and beside their peer group.
Our dorm supervisors, like all Evangel House staff, have college degrees and ministry experience. These caring professionals provide twenty-four hour supervision and are always available for objective biblical guidance and counsel.
- collaborative parent involvement
Parents keep in touch with students by weekly phone calls, emails, and letters. Parents are encouraged to visit monthly. As students prove themselves to be ready, visits progress from day visits to overnight weekend visits and eventually progress to home visits as parents are ready.

Semiannual Family Retreats
In addition to frequent contact with their daughter, parents have a high level of involvement with Evangel House staff. Parents are informed of their daughter's progress through weekly written reports. Parents are always in charge of decisions and are included by conference call with doctors, counselors, and teachers. Parents have direct telephone and email access to staff and lines of communication are kept open.
Semiannually, parents attend a dynamic experiential family retreat. This retreat provides opportunities to experience their child's progress, development, and change process. Parents have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with key staff members, and to attend workshops with our christian counselor and psychologist. The retreat serves to help parents incorporate change into their own home and within other family relationships.
