Where the Journey Began

Fishers Farm grew from a desire to reach people in the Montgomery community with the hope of the Gospel and to walk alongside those struggling with addiction and difficult circumstances.
Through years of ministry and community outreach, Fishers Farm developed into a residential environment where men could receive discipleship, biblical counseling, practical support, and the structure needed to begin building a different kind of life.
Today, Fishers Farm continues that work through a community-centered approach that brings faith, work, responsibility, accountability, and everyday life together.

​Why Fishers Farm?

Addiction can leave people feeling trapped, isolated, and without direction. Fishers Farm exists to provide a different kind of environment—one where men can step away from destructive patterns and begin pursuing a life shaped by faith, responsibility, community, and purpose.
We believe lasting change takes more than simply removing someone from a difficult environment. It requires learning new habits, developing healthy relationships, accepting responsibility, and growing in the truth of God's Word.
Our goal is to walk alongside each resident through that process.

"We don't simply want to see lives changed for a season.
​We want to see men equipped to live differently for the long term."

Rooted in the Gospel

Our work is grounded in our belief that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Scripture shapes the way we understand transformation, relationships, responsibility, and the challenges our residents face.​
Christ Is Our Hope
​We believe true hope is found in Jesus Christ, who offers freedom from sin and the gift of new life.
Scripture Shapes How We Live
We believe God's Word is the foundation for how we live, grow, and pursue truth each day.​
Transformation Is Possible
​We believe people are not defined by their past. Through Christ, discipleship, and a supportive community, genuine transformation is possible.

​A Different Approach to Addiction

Fishers Farm approaches addiction through a biblical framework. We believe destructive patterns are deeply connected to the heart, our worship, and the choices we make, and that lasting change begins with turning toward Christ.
​
Rather than defining a person by an addiction or allowing that identity to become permanent, we want residents to understand their identity in Christ and pursue a life marked by repentance, faith, responsibility, and obedience.
Our approach is built around Scripture, life-on-life discipleship, biblical counseling, accountability, work, education, and community.

We believe freedom is possible—and that transformation happens as faith becomes part of everyday life.
Transformation Happens In Community 

Fishers Farm is more than a place to live. It's a community where residents share meals, work, study, serve, worship and grow together.
Through everyday relationships and shared responsibilities, residents have opportunities to practice what they are learning and develop habits they can carry beyond their time at Fishers Farm.

Celebrating New Beginnings

Faith is at the center of the transformation we hope to see at Fishers Farm. We are grateful for opportunities to celebrate residents taking meaningful steps in their walk with Christ.
Baptism is one of those moments—a public expression of faith and a celebration of new life in Christ.
