Here's What Warren Jeffs' Home in Colorado City Has Become

There have been a lot of changes in the last decade to Colorado City, the place that was once the headquarters of the FLDS church. One big change is what has become of the big compound that was once Warren Jeff’s home.

A Decade of Transformation in Colorado City

The leader of the Fundamentalist Church, Warren Jeffs, was convicted in 2011 and sentenced to prison. Since then, the small town has changed from the insulated community it once was.

Nothing shows that change more than the home where the prophet leader once resided with his 80 wives. You can see what the home looked like soon after Jeffs was incarcerated in this videos from 8 years ago.

A Symbol of Change: Warren Jeffs’ Former Home

Since then, the home has gained a new purpose. It has been converted to the Short Creek Dream Center that provides support from those escaping domestic violence, sex trafficking, drug addiction and other trauma.

Brielle Decker, who was once the 65th wife of Warren Jeffs, now leads the center which provides 40 beds to those in need. One of the purposes of the center is to help others leave the group and find healing like Decker did at one time.

It is amazing to see how this massive home has changed in its purpose and now brings hope to those trying to heal from trauma. It is an amazing transformation of a house, a town, and many of the people who once lived there.
