BREAKING THE CYCLE, REBUILDING THE FAMILY

Photo Credit: Michelle barnett photography

Blue Monarch's mission is to provide a long-term, residential and therapeutic Christian community for women and their children to break adverse cycles and rebuild their families. 

We assist women and their children who are overcoming addiction, abuse, and economic hardship to transform in mind, body, and spirit. Our program focuses on the child’s recovery as much as the mom’s and we provide hands-on coaching for mothers learning to parent their children sober. We believe destructive cycles can be broken, families can be healed, and freedom from addiction can be found through Christ.

Since 2003, Blue Monarch has served more than 1,000 women and children and over 370 children have been reunited with their mothers who had previously lost custody.

2024 ANNUAL REPORT

EXCITING CONSTRUCTION UPDATES!

MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING

This 24,000 square foot structure will serve many purposes, which will allow us to better serve the women and children of Blue Monarch. It will hold classrooms, offices, a large event and recreation area, room for processing donated items, spaces for our kids to meet with their tutors, exercise room, conference rooms, a large kitchen and eating space, and an amazing chapel. The added benefit is that the house we currently use for all these activities will once again return to residential housing for five additional families.

Currently, we have raised $3,742,250 toward the estimated cost of $5.5 million for this structure and hope to complete construction in the Spring of 2026.

NEW OUT OF THE BLUE GRANOLA KITCHEN

Our new commercial kitchen will allow us to double our capacity, and we anticipate it will increase our customer base beyond what we can currently handle. And in the process, it will also create additional jobs for the women we serve. This incredible space is a gift from Scott and Gail Matthews of Horseshoe Bay, Texas who have a special relationship with our granola. They were first introduced to Blue Monarch through a single bag of granola purchased at the Piggly Wiggly in Monteagle by one of their friends who brought it back to Texas and shared our story with his church community. Scott and Gail have been avid fans ever since and hold a deep appreciation for the role Out of the Blue Granola plays in preparing our women for the workplace.  

 

Newest Eight-Family Residential Home

We are excited to be able to serve 16 families in our residential community thanks to our newest eight-family home provided by a generous gift from Ben and Joan Rechter!

Our Mildred Jacqueline Peters WINGS Community provides individual cottages for eight graduates for an additional year as they transition into independence and adjust to new jobs or school. This community is on our campus but provides a separate neighborhood for our graduates and their children.
