The Bridge Ministry

The Bridge provides men mentoring, vocational skills, education and relationships needed to bridge the gap from addiction to productive community and family life. After overcoming a life of addictive behavior, he began reaching out to those in jail through a community meeting. Later, he opened his home to families in his neighborhood and to troubled men who needed help overcoming their addictions

. Since 1996, The Bridge Ministry has been providing a second chance for men who are committed to breaking free from life-controlling issues. The majority of men who successfully complete the 18-month program go on to live successful and productive lives. The Bridge Ministry curriculum is designed around several proven programs and our 20+ years of experience that address the most important issues men must master to succeed in life. Our goal is to see men excel in the following six areas:

1. Personal Growth —getting to know the root cause of drug abuse and addiction through one-on-one and group drug
counseling

2. Life Application Skills — acquiring practical skills on how to live productively in society

3. Anger Management — learning to recognize and control anger issues

4. Spiritual Development —understanding how a relationship with God can help men live successfully

5. Job Training Skills —learning practical job skills and applying them in the work place

6. Relationship Skills —learning how to live with other people in a way that is meaningful and healthy
