Our Story

Bunk 57 Ministries is a family-run ministry built by people who understand hard roads firsthand. Our team, board members, and volunteers carry lived experience with incarceration, addiction, trauma, hardship, and the long work of rebuilding a life.

That experience changed how we serve.

We know a speech cannot replace a mentor. Prayer is not a substitute for a job lead, a safe place to live, counseling, accountability, or someone willing to keep showing up. Faith matters deeply, and faith must hold up when someone is trying to rebuild family trust, stay sober, find work, resist pressure, or make a different choice than they made yesterday.

That is why Bunk 57 Ministries brings biblical truth into real life. We help young men build identity and character before trouble defines their future. We support returning citizens as they pursue recovery, stability, employment, and restored relationships. We strengthen families because no lasting change happens in isolation. Through music, film, podcasts, and honest conversations, we also reach people who may never connect with a traditional church setting.
