Erie Habitat was organized in 1989. This ministry has a vision to provide Christian spiritual healing for people recovering from addiction, co-dependence and deep emotional wounding. Included are healing prayers, spiritual formation worship experiences, Bible study, meditation, retreats and seminars. Pastor Charlie McClung and his wife, Joan, started this ministry in Erie in 1994. Assistance is provided without regard to race, income, sexual preference, age handicap, ethnicity or religion.
All services are free and confidential.
SafeNet is a designated agency of the PA Coalition against domestic violence. Under various names and forms, it has served Erie since 1940. It is now a national program and we have a local group that is involved with the Albion Prison. Many members of COTC have participated. Prisoners are like the garbage of society, they may feel God is dealing with them because they have broken the laws.
