We believe that it is only by the renewing of the mind, spoken of in the scriptures (Romans 12:2) that transforms us, bringing freedom from drugs, alcohol and other destructive addictions and behaviors.It is our desire that all would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and experience his mercy, grace and the forgiveness of sins that leads to eternal life. We as a ministry are dedicated to serving Christ by serving those in need.Through the teaching of God's word, structure, discipline and accountability it is our goal to raise up men of faith, integrity, good conduct and character, preparing them to passionately pursue God and His calling on their lives, in their families, churches, communities and beyond.
