Don’t miss this opportunity for change
Each and every day we get calls from men and their families asking for help. They’re at the end of their rope. This feels like their last shot to get things right. That’s exactly why Waypoint Ministry exists. Recovering from addiction is hard. We get it. Our graduates and even many staff are walking testaments to the impact of this program, having gone through this process themselves. We utilize a holistic framework that combines tangible skills for life change with a deep faith that gives men a reason to finally make change stick.
If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, I know how frustrating it is. You need a place you can turn to. Let’s ditch addiction together and replace it with restoration and hope for the future.

Why consider Waypoint Ministry?
Too many recovery programs miss the mark with a purely clinical approach or price tag that excludes those who need their help the most. And although we understand how expensive it is to operate any residential space like ours, we also believe there should be another option.
Our unique approach combines the tangible skills every man in recovery needs, all within a Christian-based residential environment that provides deeper meaning that leads to lasting change.
We have affordable program fees and sometimes can provide scholarships to eligible men and their families who desperately want help, but simply cannot afford it.
Over the course of twelve months, every man at Waypoint walks through a regenerative program that covers everything from inner healing and biblical teaching to practical steps to break addiction. Our goal? Help men overcome addiction and successfully reintegrate into the lives of their family and loved ones.
How do we do it all and not charge enormous rates?
Our friends and partners.
Their generosity makes everything we do possible.
If you’re looking to overcome addiction and find deeper meaning, look no further.
Freedom from addiction can be yours
“Before Waypoint, I was lost in addiction and had nearly given up on life. After 27 months in jail, I finally admitted I needed help. My uncle and a close friend had both found freedom at Waypoint, and seeing their transformation gave me hope. It wasn’t easy—I waited two years to get in—but it was worth it. Here, I found brotherhood, restoration with my family, and most importantly, a relationship with Jesus. Today, I’m part of the SLT program, giving back to the men just starting their journey. Waypoint didn’t just help me recover—it gave me purpose.”

“I came to Waypoint saying there was no way I’d stay more than 12 months. I was 37, with 25 years of addiction behind me, and thought if I couldn’t be helped in a year, I couldn’t be helped at all. But here, I met Jesus—and everything changed. Waypoint helped me face my pain, build honest relationships, and start a life of real purpose. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth it. Today, I’m part of the Servant Leader program, pouring back into the same community that helped save me. This place didn’t just make me feel better—it made me better.”
