About Lamb House
Lamb House for Women is a Christ-centered sober living home where women pursuing long-term sobriety find safety, structure, biblical community, and real support for the road ahead.
Our mission
Our mission is to provide women in recovery with a safe, sober, Christ-centered residential home — a place where accountability and grace live side by side, where Scripture shapes daily life, and where women are supported as they seek employment and prepare for independent living — including women who receive Social Security, disability, or other fixed income and may not be employed.
We take recovery seriously, and we take the dignity of every resident just as seriously. Women here are not defined by their addiction. They are women rebuilding their lives.
Our story
Lamb House for Women is a ministry of Grace & Peace Ministries, Inc.. It began with a simple, persistent burden: women leaving treatment, jail, or crisis often have nowhere safe to go — and without a stable, supportive home, hard-won progress can unravel quickly.
Pastor Frank and Director Lilian Pontillo believed the church could answer that need with more than sympathy. Lamb House opened as a real home: clean, sober, structured, and rooted in the Word of God, where women could be loved and held accountable at the same time.
That work continues today, one woman and one day at a time.
“He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart…”
Isaiah describes the Lord as a Shepherd who gathers the lambs into His arms and carries them close to His heart. Jesus calls Himself that Good Shepherd — the one who goes looking for the one who is lost.
Our name is a reminder of His care for those who are vulnerable, wounded, and in need of restoration, and a picture of what we hope every resident experiences here.
What we believe
We believe the gospel of Jesus Christ is the hope of every person — that reconciliation with God comes through His death and resurrection, received by faith.
We believe Scripture is true and sufficient to guide a life being rebuilt, and that the Holy Spirit does the transforming work no program can accomplish on its own.
We believe the local church matters. Lamb House operates under Grace & Peace Ministries, Inc. and encourages residents toward genuine church community.

Pastor Frank and Director Lilian Pontillo lead Lamb House together. Frank helps lead Grace & Peace Ministries and its heart for men and women seeking recovery, restoration, and a life rooted in Christ, while Lilian walks alongside the women of Lamb House day by day — offering encouragement, accountability, biblical instruction, and practical help.
Accreditation means Lamb House is held to recognized standards for safety, ethics, and quality in recovery residences. For women and families weighing a next step, that accountability is not a formality — it is part of how trust is earned.
