Tribe of Levi House Rules
Discipleship Program — Resident Agreement

These rules exist not to restrict you, but to protect you — and the men beside you. This is a community of brothers walking toward healing, accountability, and faith. We ask every resident to read, understand, and commit to these expectations before entering the program.

1. Faith & Spiritual Life

  1. Residents are expected to actively pursue their relationship with Jesus Christ through daily prayer, Bible reading, and participation in house devotionals.
  2. Attendance at weekly house meetings and designated church services is required.
  3. Residents may not attend outside religious gatherings, studies, or events without prior approval from house leadership.
  4. Proselytizing of other faiths or ideologies within the house is not permitted.

2. Sobriety & Substances

  1. Zero tolerance for alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription medications. Violation results in immediate removal from the program.
  2. Residents must submit to random drug and alcohol screening at any time requested by house leadership.
  3. Possession or distribution of any controlled substance on or near the property is grounds for immediate removal and may result in law enforcement notification.
  4. Prescription medications must be disclosed to house leadership and stored according to house policy.
  5. Tobacco and vaping are not permitted inside any house facility.

3. Curfew & Accountability

  1. All residents must be inside the house by 10:00 PM Sunday–Thursday and 11:00 PM Friday–Saturday, unless prior written approval is obtained from house leadership.
  2. Residents must notify house leadership before leaving the property for any reason during restricted hours.
  3. Overnight absences require advance approval and must be reported to a parole or probation officer if applicable.

  3. Physical violence of any kind — including threats — will result in immediate removal and potential criminal charges.
  4. Residents may not possess weapons of any kind on the property.
  5. Sexual misconduct of any kind, including inappropriate material, is prohibited and may result in removal.
