Builds self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment in the area of work ethics.

(Prov. 14:23 / 2 Thess. 3:10).Helps to provide some of the necessary income the Ministry needs to continue serving others.

The Culinary Program
Our Chef, Gregory Miller, graduate of the Bridge Restoration Program, felt a call to give back in the best way that he new how. Teaching others skills that could bring his brothers and sisters in Christ out of their old ways and into a successful and ever expanding field.
