ChristTown Ministries, Inc. (ChristTown) is a Christian faith-based mission that reaches out to the "least of these." (Matthew 25:35-40) We are dedicated to promoting recovery for people addicted to drugs & alcohol. Through sound biblical teaching and step classes, we encourage recovery from a destructive lifestyle to one full of joy, peace and hope. We are bridging the gap between being an outcast of society and re-entering society as a productive citizen. Men leave us drug free, better equipped to handle life and very often reconciled with family.

Since August 2002, ChristTown has provided shelter, food and clothing for over 400 men and women struggling with addictions to drugs and alcohol. Currently we serve over 130 meals daily and have 36 beds for men coming out of jail, detox or off the streets. There is no charge for entering our program; no one is ever turned away for inability to pay. We benefit our local communities by giving food, furniture and clothing to underprivileged families and disaster victims. We believe nothing is impossible with God and all can find freedom in Jesus Christ. We are providing an environment that desperate, lost souls can find the joy of physical and spiritual healing.

ChristTown's staff is either graduates of the program, founders or volunteers. We are a Christ-centered resource in our local communities for residential recovery. Our operating budget is approximately $750,000 annually; this covers the cost of housing approximately 36-40 pepole and salaries for non-volunteer staff. Approximately $470,000 is this is raised annually through ongoing fundraising activities of the ministry. We rely on donations from churches, individuals or organizations for the remaining $280,000. God bless you as your prayerfully consider supporting God's work at Christtown Ministries, Inc.

When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat, and when I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink. When I was a stranger, you welcomed me, and when I was naked, you gave me clothes to wear. When I was sick, you took care of me, and when I was in jail, you visited me. Then the ones who pleased the Lord will ask, "When did we give you something to eat or drink? When did we welcome you as a stranger or give you clothes to wear or visit you while you were sick or in jail?" The King will answer, "Whenever you did it for any of my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me."
Matthew 25:35-40 (CEV)
