Overview

Mission

The organization's purpose is to provide resources for men taking the next steps from recovery to a sustainable lifestyle. Our goal is to create a path to success for men struggling with a broken life pattern by providing a Christ-centered transitional living community and developing a blueprint for their redeemed lives that encourages positive steps for rectification in their careers, relationships, finances, and spiritual growth.

What it reported doing in 2024

Next Door Ministries has continued to provide a transitional home environment for men seeking community, mentorship, developing individual life plans, and community service. Occupancy has been 12 to 17 men, who must adhere to the participation agreement to be allowed to occupy as a resident in this affordable programming. The main goals accomplished are pride of community, health, and building relationships that foster and encourage participation in the Life Plan and the playbook tailored to each individual, working on 5 specific areas of growth in Spiritual, Financial, Family, Health, and rebuilding relationships. Each man meets monthly with the house manger to review, revise and for accountability. Pride of location in keeping up each property's interior and exterior to be a good neighbor, in good repair and presentable. Weekly chores, regular house inspections, clean-up, and maintenance are covered by the men living in the community. Each resident has an outside mentor, who connects and gives advice and gets to know each man for personal help and encouragement. This continues to be supported by house manager meetings, and the weekly Bible studies. The ministry program is flourishing and overall goals are being met.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
