About Eagle Christian Ministries, Inc

Eagle Christian Ministries, Inc is a sober living operator based in Choctaw, Oklahoma, running certified recovery housing for men and women in Oklahoma County. Jim and Lisa McWhirter founded the nonprofit, which operates under the Eagle Recovery Center name and maintains a second location in Cyril, Oklahoma.

A Faith-Based Recovery Housing Provider in Choctaw

Eagle Christian Ministries describes its mission as providing a safe and stable living environment for people recovering from substance use disorder, built around peer support and mentoring, with clinical treatment delivered elsewhere.

Separate Men's and Women's Houses in Choctaw

The organization runs its Choctaw housing as two separate residences: Eagle Recovery Center, for men, and Millcreek, for women. Keeping the two populations in separate houses means residents share meetings and common space with people of the same gender only.

What the First Thirty Days Look Like

Eagle Christian Ministries structures its early residency around a thirty-day period during which residents cannot leave with people from outside the house. The stated purpose is to give someone time to settle in, find work and build a routine before outside visits resume, and residents are expected to seek full-time employment and attend at least three recovery meetings a week once that period begins.

OKARR Certification at Millcreek

Millcreek is certified at Level 2 by the Oklahoma Alliance for Recovery Resources. Eagle Recovery Center, the men's house, is not separately listed on the OKARR roster, and certification is tracked residence by residence, not for the organization as a whole.

Serving the Oklahoma City Metro Area

Choctaw sits inside the Oklahoma City metro area, giving residents access to the region's outpatient providers, employers and transportation options without leaving the county. Eagle Christian Ministries also operates a location in Cyril, in southwestern Oklahoma, extending its reach beyond the metro.
