About Us

Bump in the Road Ministries is a Christ-centered ministry created to help people move beyond homelessness, addiction, and life’s most difficult circumstances.

Every Story Deserves a New Beginning

Life does not always follow a straight road. Addiction, homelessness, grief, broken relationships, and unexpected hardship can leave people feeling forgotten and without a clear way forward. We believe those moments do not define a person’s worth—and they do not have to be the end of the story.

Bump in the Road Ministries exists to meet men, women, and children at that difficult place and walk beside them toward recovery, restoration, stability, and renewed purpose. Through safe transitional housing, faith-centered encouragement, accountability, community support, and practical resources, we help residents build a strong foundation for lasting independence.

A bump in the road is not a dead end. Through Christ, it can become the place where a new journey begins.

How We Serve

Provide Safety

Offer stable, supportive homes where residents can step away from crisis and begin healing with dignity.

Support Recovery

Encourage freedom from addiction through accountability, healthy community, and connections to appropriate resources.

Build Independence

Help residents pursue employment, life skills, documentation, healthcare, and practical steps toward sustainable living.

Two Homes. One Shared Mission.

Our ministry carries forward the legacies of two compassionate people who understood the struggles of the broken and believed every life mattered.

Ryan’s Refuge

A transitional home for men honoring Larry Ryan Bolton. Ryan’s legacy inspires us to help displaced men recover, rebuild, and rise into stability, purpose, and a renewed life in God’s Kingdom.
