OUR PURPOSE
Fresh Start Ministry exists to bring hope, restoration, and transformation to men and women who are incarcerated, struggling with addiction, or experiencing homelessness. We help them understand God’s love, discover that they were created to worship Him, and experience the power of community. Through recovery programs, mentoring, discipleship, spiritual guidance, transitional support, and access to practical resources, we guide individuals toward a transformed, Christ-centered life, free from addiction and filled with purpose.
By partnering with Fresh Start Ministry, donors and prayer partners play a vital role in providing access to these life-changing programs, helping restore dignity, faith, and hope to those who need it most. Our ministry also equips participants and volunteers through hands-on training and discipleship, creating a ripple effect of transformation that extends into families, communities, and the broader Church. Fresh Start Ministry provides a tangible opportunity for supporters to invest in work that restores lives, strengthens communities, and brings the love of Christ to those who struggle with addiction, incarceration, and homelessness.

TESTIMONIES
How God is at work through Fresh Start
I was lost, but now I’m found - saved by His grace, not by my own strength. I am so grateful I found Fresh Start. The powerful teachings of the 12 steps in AA are so profound to me. I listen deeply, and I take action. There is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain. I am proof!
