About Jericho Road Ministries

Jericho Road Ministries: Loving Our Neighbors on the Road to RecoveryJericho Road Ministries exists to glorify God by loving our neighbors who have experienced overwhelming life circumstances. Based in West Central Florida, we provide Christ-centered programs and services that help individuals rebuild their lives with dignity, stability, and hope.We offer holistic care for men and women through a phased recovery model:REbuilt Program (5 months): A structured, Gospel-rooted residential program that fosters spiritual, emotional, and vocational restoration. Residents engage in daily devotions, Bible study, life skills education, work therapy, and employment readiness to build a foundation for self-sufficiency.Nehemiah Program (5+ months): A transitional phase for REbuilt graduates, offering affordable housing, continued accountability, and mentoring as they secure stable employment and permanent housing.Sober Living Opportunities: After completing the Nehemiah phase, graduates may transition into approved sober living environments that continue to foster accountability, community, and spiritual growth. These settings support long-term recovery goals while allowing residents to fully integrate into the workforce and church life with ongoing encouragement and stability.Our additional ministries include the Food Barn (feeding our neighbors in need) and multiple thrift stores that provide both job training and funding for our programs.Every resident receives personal discipleship, practical tools, and a supportive community to help them walk in new life—restored, redeemed, and equipped to give glory to God.
