I’ve been where the men we serve are — broken, searching, and ready for something real. What I found was that lasting recovery doesn’t come from willpower; it comes from surrender. When faith becomes the foundation, everything else begins to rebuild.
Why Christian Sober Living Matters
At On Mission Florida, we believe that freedom from addiction isn’t just about sobriety — it’s about transformation. That transformation doesn’t come from willpower or good intentions alone… it comes from Jesus Christ.
We’ve seen it with our own eyes. We’ve lived it.
🪨 Our Foundation: Jesus Christ
The solid rock on which we stand is Jesus.
He is not just part of our program — He is the point of it.
Our mission is people-focused, rooted in building the most important relationship anyone can have: a personal, life-changing relationship with our Lord and Savior. At the heart of everything we do is the belief that real healing comes when we surrender our lives to Christ and allow Him to work in us and through us.
🔄 More Than Sobriety — It’s About Surrender
In faith-based recovery, we don’t just learn how to stay clean — we learn how to submit.
We surrender our will and trade it for something better: God’s plan.
Through this process, men begin to:
- Understand their true identity in Christ — not their past.
- Let go of shame and walk in freedom.
- Learn to give to God the things they cannot control.
- Live in daily dependence on His power, not their own.
🙏 Discipleship Changes Everything
Discipleship isn’t a feature of our program — it is the backbone of it.
Men need other men walking beside them. Not just counselors. Not just rules. But Godly mentors and spiritual brothers who are grounded in faith and invested in their recovery.
Every man who walks through our doors enters a house that:
- Studies the Bible together.
- Prays together.
- Attends and serves in a local church.
- Builds one another up in faith, accountability, and love.
This is a Christ-centered family, not a facility.
🧠 A Renewed Mind Leads to a Renewed Life
Romans 12:2 says “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
And that’s exactly what we pursue every day.
Men in our homes engage in:
- Morning devotions to start the day in God’s Word.
- Weekly online church service nights as a household.
- Sunday services and serving in their church community.
We’re not just breaking addiction. We’re building disciples who know who they are, whose they are, and what they were created for.
💼 Practical Restoration — Rooted in Christ
Recovery must be spiritual and practical.
We help men:
- Find meaningful work that aligns with their growth.
- Manage finances as stewards of God’s provision.
- Pursue education and personal goals with structure and support.
- Learn to serve others and lead well in their households.
They aren’t just staying clean — they’re learning to thrive.
🧍Who Is This For?
We serve men breaking free from any life-controlling issue — whether it’s alcohol, drugs, pornography, or otherwise. Addiction doesn’t discriminate, and we don’t either.
We welcome:
- Men who have completed detox or rehab and are ready for their next step.
- Men who are serious about laying down roots, finding work, and building a new life.
- Men who are willing to open their hearts to God, study the Bible, and be part of a church.
If you want real, lasting change through Jesus Christ — this is for you.
If you want no part of God — this may not be your next step.
But if you’re even just willing to try… we’ll walk with you every step of the way.
💡 What Makes Us Different?
Two words: Lived Experience.
Our founder, Anthony, has been there.
Once lost in addiction and brokenness, he found hope and freedom in a 13-month, in-house, faith-based recovery program. He didn’t just learn sobriety — he met Jesus, and everything changed.
Now, he’s finishing a degree in psychology and counseling with a 3.876 GPA, is active in his local church, and is building a life grounded in God’s purpose. This mission is personal — because it’s real.
And Anthony isn’t doing it alone.
Our Board of Directors includes an incredible pastor, current recovery center directors, and men who know this battle firsthand. We’re serious about this. We’re On Mission — and we abound in grace.
📈 Whole-Person Recovery: Spiritually, Practically, Socially
We believe in holistic healing. That’s why our homes prioritize:
- Spiritual growth – Devotions, Bible study, church, and Christ-centered community.
- Practical growth – Work, education, financial stewardship, and responsibility.
- Social growth – Healthy brotherhood, mentorship, and community involvement.
You don’t just survive here — you learn to live the abundant life God has for you.
