The community celebrates 60 years of love at Killingsworth
In the mid 1940s, Corrie Killingsworth solicited the help of women in Methodist churches across the state to create a safe, Christian community as a transition for women who left home after high school. From 1947- 1972 Killingsworth was basically a Christian boarding home for young women out of high school. Rules from the early days of the Killingsworth community were strict compared with today's standards: no red fingernail polish; no shorts worn downstairs; Bible study was held each day at 5 pm; and, the house mother was known to don a pair of white gloves and go through the house checking for evidence of dust! From 1972 until the present, the home has served women in crisis who have had a difficult time adjusting, coping, recovering, and need a safe place.
The Killingsworth House is located at 1831 Pendleton Street.
