Mission Statement

Leading men out of addiction into lasting freedom and transformation through a Christ-centered model of accountability, healing, and hope.

Our Beliefs

We believe in one eternal God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect, existing in three persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Holy Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, which are inspired by God and written by men, and are the basis for which we live.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, who was crucified, dead and buried, and rose again on the third day and sits at the right hand of God, the Father, in heaven. Jesus Christ was the final sacrifice and redeemed us from all of our sins and gave all who believe the same power, faith and authority through His name to overcome and to give service to His commission to us (Mark 16:15-20).

We believe that the Holy Spirit, is the Spirit and Power of Christ, and our comforter, teacher, healer, deliverer, guide, equipper, convictor and gift-giver, and empowers us to live holy lives in service to God. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a whole Person and dwells in every believer and all of His Spiritual giftings are available for use upon His will, as the believer yields to Him.

We believe that no man can come to the Father but through faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ; that only through Jesus Christ can one be saved, healed and delivered. We further believe that we are being perfected and prepared for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, to gather His believers, to live and reign with Him in the Kingdom of God and live eternally with God.

Core ValuesF.R.E.S.H.

F – Faith

We build everything on the foundation of faith in Jesus Christ, guiding men toward spiritual renewal and a personal relationship with God. Faith is the anchor that empowers lasting change.

R – Restoration

We are committed to the restoration of lives, families, and futures. Through counseling, mentorship, and community, we help men rebuild what addiction has broken.

E – Empowerment

We equip men with the tools, skills, and support systems needed to achieve emotional, spiritual, and practical independence. Empowerment leads to dignity and long-term success.

S – Sobriety

We foster a structured environment that encourages and sustains long-term sobriety, rooted in accountability, discipline, and grace. True sobriety is more than abstinence—it’s transformation.

H – Hope

We cultivate a culture of hope, reminding every man that no story is too broken for redemption. Hope (in Christ) is what keeps the journey going, even when the road is hard.
