Fishers Farm is a residential discipleship home that serves men who are struggling with various addictions including drugs and alcohol. We believe that substance abuse and addictions are due to an incorrect relationship with Jesus Christ. We live along side the residents to form a sense of support and community. For the purposes of learning, responsibility and receiving discipleship training, we offer a tailored program that will establish a foundation in biblical thinking which transforms every aspect of a life destroyed by addiction. ​

A Program Built Around Daily Life

Our program brings biblical discipleship and practical responsibility together. Residents don't simply attend sessions—they live within a structured community where growth is practiced every day.

01 — Biblical Counseling

​Individual & Group Counseling

​Residents receive individual and group biblical counseling designed to address personal struggles, encourage accountability, and support spiritual growth.

02 — Daily Devotion

Start & End the Day in Scripture

Early morning devotion and Bible study establish a daily rhythm centered on God's Word, while nightly Bible studies provide space to explore the struggles of addiction through a biblical framework. Together, these practices encourage residents to grow in faith, understand God's truth, and apply it to everyday life.

03 — Community Living

Life Shared Together

Residents share housing, meals, responsibilities, and everyday experiences while building supportive relationships and learning accountability. Through life together, they are encouraged to grow in healthy relationships, mutual respect, and a stronger sense of community.

04 — Work & Service

Purpose Through Responsibility

A structured routine includes work on the property, daily assignments, and opportunities to serve churches, widows, and others in the community—helping residents develop strong work habits, personal responsibility, discipline, and a willingness to serve others. 

05 — Church Partnerships

Connected to the Local Community

​Connections with local churches and ministries provide residents with opportunities for fellowship, service, and discipleship. These relationships help strengthen their support network, encourage spiritual growth, and create meaningful ways to remain connected to the community.

More About Our Programs

 Fishers Farm residents will be participating in 6 hour workdays on Monday-Friday during work hours. These workdays will include volunteer work for churches, widows, and others in need, as well as paid work projects (when available) to cover utility and food costs at Fishers Farm. Many facilities similar to Fishers Farm have a high monthly cost. We know that many cannot afford this, and do not have family who can afford this. We want to assist those who otherwise would not have the option to go to a move-in facility. We also believe that the burden of the cost of living should be primarily the responsibility of the resident and not just their family and loved ones.

A Commitment to the Journey

Lasting change takes time. Fishers Farm requires a minimum 12-month residential commitment so residents have the time and structure needed to work through the program and develop lasting habits.

This book gives residents a better understanding of where our real battle lies. This study includes a weekly group review and discussion.
