Spring City, Tennessee – RockHouse Ministries is redefining addiction recovery through a faith-based approach that emphasizes deliverance and complete restoration. Through biblical discipleship, transitional housing, and national initiatives like Project 300, the ministry demonstrates that true freedom from addiction is achievable through Jesus Christ.
A Radical Alternative to Traditional Rehab
The addiction crisis in America continues to escalate, with millions grappling with substance abuse. While conventional rehabilitation programs offer medical and psychological interventions, many struggle to provide lasting solutions. RockHouse Ministries, based in Spring City, Tennessee, is challenging this model with a faith-centered approach that rejects the notion of addiction as a permanent condition.
Founded by Pastor Jim Downs, RockHouse Ministries operates on the belief that true healing comes through spiritual renewal via Jesus Christ. In contrast to secular recovery programs, which often rely on medication, therapy, and behavior modification, RockHouse Ministries focuses on deliverance and restoration through biblical teachings, discipleship, and a supportive faith-based community.
“The world says addiction is a disease to be managed, but we know the truth—Jesus sets captives free. At RockHouse Ministries, we don’t just help people cope with addiction; we lead them to complete transformation,” said Pastor Jim Downs, Founder of RockHouse Ministries.
Faith-Based Recovery: A Solution That Works
RockHouse Ministries has developed a comprehensive recovery program that integrates daily Bible study, worship, and spiritual mentoring. The program is designed to address addiction at its core, viewing it as a spiritual battle rather than a lifelong disease.
The ministry offers its services to men and women from all walks of life, including those recently released from incarceration, individuals experiencing homelessness, and those who have been rejected by other rehabilitation centers. The key elements of their recovery program include:
- Biblical Discipleship: One-on-one mentoring and group sessions that instill biblical principles.
- Life Skills Training: Practical education and job readiness programs that support long-term stability.
- Transitional Housing: A safe, structured environment for rebuilding lives and finding stability.
This approach has resulted in numerous success stories, with former addicts experiencing not just sobriety but profound life transformation. The growing demand for RockHouse Ministries’ program highlights the increasing need for faith-based addiction recovery solutions across the nation.
Challenging the Secular Recovery Industry
Many secular recovery programs operate under the assumption that addiction is a chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment, therapy, and medication. RockHouse Ministries challenges this perspective by showing that genuine freedom is possible through faith in Jesus Christ.
Unlike many rehabilitation centers that rely on government funding—which often comes with restrictions on religious expression—RockHouse Ministries maintains its commitment to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Although the ministry accepts government funding, it only accepts support that does not interfere with its ability to teach biblical principles. Primarily funded by private donations and community support, RockHouse Ministries ensures that its faith-driven approach remains unaltered.
“We refuse to accept any government funding that would limit our ability to teach about Jesus. The truth of the Gospel cannot be diluted, and our mission will not be compromised,” said Pastor Downs.
Project 300: A Nationwide Movement for Faith-Based Recovery
Beyond its local reach, RockHouse Ministries is expanding its message nationally through Project 300, an ambitious initiative aimed at promoting faith-based addiction recovery.
As part of this campaign, Pastor Jim Downs is traveling to 300 cities in a custom-built Chrysler 300 to share 300 personal testimonies of recovery through faith. Along the way, RockHouse Ministries is hosting recovery rallies, connecting with churches and organizations, and gathering real-life stories of transformation to inspire others.
The campaign seeks to challenge the prevailing secular recovery industry, offer hope to those still struggling with addiction, and demonstrate that faith-based rehabilitation can provide an effective alternative. Additionally, RockHouse Ministries is producing a documentary that critiques traditional rehab programs and showcases the life-changing power of faith-based recovery. Through powerful personal stories, the documentary aims to inspire a nationwide movement toward spiritual healing and restoration.

As addiction rates continue to soar, RockHouse Ministries is calling on individuals, churches, and organizations to join in supporting this transformative mission. There are multiple ways to get involved:
