know
A Better Way Ministries is a non-profit organization that aims to help people with life controlling issues. We believe man's most basic need is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Upon completion of our program students can function as a Christian in society, applying spiritually motivated biblical principles to relationships in the family, the local church, and the community. These men become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive.
our program
A Better Way Ministries is based on the fact that the man’s basic need is a relationship with God through Christ Jesus. People use drugs and alcohol as an attempt to fill a void that only Jesus can fill. When Jesus is made the Lord and Savior of a person’s life, a total transformation will follow. We are a Christ centered facility, we do not practice any other customs or rituals contrary to the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
how it works
Call us or we will reach out and be in touch within 24 hours
once accepted, staff will inform you of your next steps
-
Cellphones are not allowed. (There will come a time in the program when the student will be allowed to call on the weekend and have family days on and off campus.)
-
Students must be able to pay for their own medication. (approved and non-approved medication list)
-
Students will not be able to work a job outside the ministry for their own personal gain while enrolled. If “making money and doing your own thing” is his goal then this certainly wouldn’t be the right program for him.
-
Anyone who is accepted is expected to commit to, or be mandated to, the entire 18 months. We are not a “pit -stop” or an outpatient detox facility.
-
They will get up at 4:45 AM Monday- Friday. Beds, closets, and living spaces must be neat and in a certain order.
-
No long hair is allowed. For the first six months students will have to be clean-shaven (not including mustaches) until staff approves for a beard or goatee to be grown.
-
For the first 90 days, students may write or receive letters from only 6 family members on their contact list. Pastors, church members, mentors, and fiancées are the only exception. No girlfriends or casual acquaintances.
-
Our facility is sometimes referred to as a “spiritual bootcamp.” Classes and chapel services are mandatory.
-
We realize recreation is vital to one’s peace of mind. We have a weight room/gym, basketball court, volleyball court, swimming, and various other activities provided on campus. These are limited but provided.
There are 3 phases
Phase 1 / First 30-45 Days
Induction 30 days. They will go through basic discipleship. Biblical education, and A Better Way 101. In the classroom (spiritual and academic) the student will be required to participate to the best of their ability.
Phase 2 / Workforce
13 months. The students will go through counseling, leadership training, and personal studies. They will be placed in different areas of our ministry services to work during the day.
Phase 3 / Transition
Transition is a time for students to prepare for stepping out again. They will be looking to gain employment while living in a less structured environment and more freedom.
They can continue to work for the ministry as well.
