About Us

Welcome to ARMS- Abuse Recovery Ministry Services, a non-profit organization committed to supporting domestic violence survivors and promoting change for those who have chosen controlling or abusive behaviors.

Our mission is to provide a safe and empowering environment for survivors to heal, while also offering intervention programs for individuals who have caused harm. At ARMS, we understand the devastating impact of domestic violence on individuals, families, and communities. We aim to help survivors heal, regain control of their lives, and rebuild their futures. Through our Her Journey program, we offer a free 15-week faith-based program designed to assist women ages 14 and older healing from current and past abuse.

Our intervention courses provide a safe space for individuals to explore the root causes of their actions, develop empathy and understanding, and learn healthier ways to address conflict and relationships. By addressing the underlying issues that contribute to domestic violence, we aim to break the cycle and create lasting change.

At ARMS, we are driven by faith, compassion, empathy, and the belief that everyone deserves to live free from violence. We collaborate with community partners, experts, and volunteers to ensure our programs are comprehensive, evidence-based, and faith driven. Our team of dedicated professionals is committed to upholding the highest standards of confidentiality, respect, and non-judgment, creating an environment where survivors and those seeking intervention can find the support they need.

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.
