The Bridge: A Ministry of First Church & The Restoration House
We’re excited to announce The Bridge, a new Restoration House ministry home made possible through the generous donation of a house to our program.
The Bridge will provide housing for 3–4 men who are ready to take the next step after completing The Restoration House program. This transitional home offers a safe place to live while residents continue building independence through accountability, employment, life skills, and ongoing support.
We hope to welcome our first residents by the end of July, and you can help make that possible!
We’re currently furnishing the home and invite you to support this ministry by purchasing needed items from our Amazon Wish List. Every gift helps create a comfortable, welcoming home and provides a strong foundation for men as they move toward lasting stability and restored lives.
Thank you for partnering with us to help restore hope, one life at a time.
