OUR MAIN FACILITY
The Fortress facility holds up to 31 men at a time. Each client receives their own room, with a shared bathroom. Here is where men will stay and be a part of the program before either moving out on their own or, transitioning into one of our two sober homes. The Fortress is staffed 24/7 with a team of people who have a heart for every man who walks through our doors.
VICTORY HOUSES
The Fortress also operates two sober homes in addition to the program side of what we do. Each home is staffed with a house manager who works for The Fortress. Our victory houses are a great step towards full independence, but with accountability. We want to see you make on to other side of addiction in God's timing, with that said these transitional options would be the progressive step in recovery for men desiring to work, save money, stay sober, and when the time is right, move out on their own.

Chris Myers
Program Director
As a former resident of The Fortress program, I can truly say that I know what you might be feeling or thinking right now. When I arrived at The Fortress, my life had become truly unmanageable. I had lost everything, pushed everyone away, and didn't like the man I saw in the mirror. It was a leap of faith to walk through those doors. A jump into the unknown. Rest assured, those feelings you may be having are normal. We understand you here, I and many staff have come through the program and have truly felt the restoring power of Christ in our lives. You deserve that same restoration, Jesus' love for you hasn't and will not change. Come, let us show you how to be closer to Him and in the process as you surrender every day, you will witness a change in yourself. How you deal with life, Lord willing, will never be the same again!

GIVE TO THE FORTRESS MISSION
Giving is a part of our worship to God. It has been said that you can tell nearly everything about a person by the way they spend their money. Whether you are tithing in obedience to Malachi 3:10 or contributing over and above your tithe as an act of sacrificial generosity, your money will help us minister God’s hope and healing to our community and beyond. We give in order to be blessed, not for fear of anything negative in our lives. We give out of gratitude and love! You can give your gift safely and securely online - this is one of the easiest ways to give to our ministry. Thank you.
