About Us
Welcome to ARMS, Abuse Recovery Ministry & Services, a nonprofit organization committed to supporting domestic violence survivors and promoting meaningful change for individuals who have used controlling or abusive behaviors.
Our mission is to provide a safe, empowering environment for survivors to heal, while also offering intervention programs that address the root causes of abuse. We recognize the devastating impact domestic violence has on individuals, families, and communities. At ARMS, our work is centered on restoring dignity, rebuilding lives, and creating pathways toward long-term healing and accountability.
Through our
Her Journey program, ARMS offers a free 15-week, faith-based healing program for women ages 14 and older who are recovering from current or past abuse. This program provides education, community, and restorative support in a confidential and compassionate setting.
Our intervention programs create space for individuals who have caused harm to examine patterns of behavior, develop empathy, and learn healthier approaches to relationships and conflict. By addressing the underlying dynamics that contribute to abuse, ARMS seeks to interrupt cycles of violence and support lasting change.
ARMS partners with community organizations, professionals, and trained volunteers to deliver programs that are trauma-informed, evidence-based, and values-driven. Our team is committed to upholding the highest standards of confidentiality, respect, and non-judgment, ensuring safety and dignity for everyone we serve.
Founders Story
Abuse Recovery Ministry Services (ARMS) was birthed in 1997 as Stacey Womack followed God’s call to work in the field of domestic violence, even though she had not experienced abuse herself. A year later, ARMS held their first HER JOURNEY, victim recovery group.
Incorporated as a non-profit (501c3) in June of 1999, Stacey’s small grass roots efforts have grown to now serve on a national and international level, supporting both victims and perpetrators of abuse from a faith perspective. ARMS team members are experts in the field of domestic violence and faith-based domestic violence advocacy and provide training for others nationally and internationally.
Stacey Womack was the recipient of the Judge Stephen B. Herrall Award in 2012 for Outstanding Collaborative Efforts to End Family Violence.
