Sidewalk Soldiers

Whole Truth Ministries

Our approach is holistic, meaning we look at the whole person — mind, body, spirit, relationships, and practical life skills. We believe each part of a person’s life is a pillar of growth. When these pillars are strengthened, residents can transition back into society with confidence and purpose. Residents attend both in-house and community recovery meetings (NA, AA, CR) and take part in programs that support healing, accountability, and personal development. While we are a faith-based transitional housing program, we welcome men at any point in their faith journey. No matter where someone starts, we encourage spiritual growth and support each other along the way.

Relay For Life

Volunteers participate in local events and help support fundraising and community awareness efforts.
   







Celebrate Recovery

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery ministry that helps individuals overcome what it calls “hurts, habits, and hang-ups.” These can include addiction, anxiety, anger, trauma, grief, and many other life struggles. Through biblical teaching, support groups, accountability, and community, participants are able to work toward healing and long-term transformation. This ministry requires committed volunteers because relationships and consistency are essential to the recovery process. Volunteers help lead groups, support participants, and create a safe and encouraging environment for those seeking change.
