About US
Heartlight is a residential counseling center for struggling teens that offers help and hope to parents and teens in a broken world.
A Christ-centered residential counseling center.
Who We Are.
Heartlight is a residential program serving 60 teens, ages 13–18, from across North America. These are not delinquents, but kids who have faced trauma, made poor choices, or simply lost their way. We provide a structured, relational, Christ-centered environment where healing can begin and families can be restored.
What Makes Us Different?
Located on 150 acres in the piney woods of East Texas, Heartlight combines counseling, school, and activity-rich living into a program that emphasizes authentic relationships. Staff and residents live, learn, and grow together, making Heartlight a place of hope not only for teens, but for the staff who serve alongside them
Our Mission
Transforming Lives, One Teen at a Time
At Heartlight, our mission is clear: to bring help and hope to teens in crisis by creating an environment where relationships thrive. Every moment—from shared meals to late-night talks—is designed to build trust and foster authentic connection. We know that lasting change doesn’t come through rules alone, but through relationships that reflect grace, patience, and unconditional love
A Mission That Changes Everyone
Our mission impacts more than just the residents. Staff and counselors grow alongside the teens they serve, gaining wisdom, maturity, and a deeper understanding of God’s love in the process. For those who join us, Heartlight isn’t just a place to work—it’s a place to discover your calling and make a difference that will ripple across generations.
