We launched The Fringe Coffee House (a holistic re-entry and job training program) October
29th, 2020.. This new social enterprise will employ and empower recently released ex-felons.

Every Tuesday we also lead the holistic, faith-based music therapy program, "Scars and Bars"
in both Lebanon and Dayton Correctional Institutions. This 10 week program addresses the
root causes of destructive behavior and helps move those involved towards healing and
wholeness. The program also seeks to restore value, dignity and worth to each individual
involved by helping them find their voice, share their stories and re-imagine their future. Our
program is reducing violence in Ohio prisons and those who go through the program
and connect with us upon release have an over 80% success rate of not returning to prison.
Addiction/Recovery Outreach
We do recover. Every week over 250 people fill one of our 4 recovery meetings.
God is moving mightily in the lives of those battling addiction and in recovery.
We believe Jesus loves the addict and those in recovery and that revival and
genuine spiritual awakening will come through the most unlikely people.
The Fringe Riders
The Fringe Riders are a group of bikers and non-bikers committed to meeting
people right where they are at developing caring relationships with those they come in
contact with and gaining permission to share the good news of Jesus in a non-threatening
manner. We do this through Slim's Run: making sack lunches and delivering them
to the children and families of Hamiltons 2nd ward area, various community outreaches
and being a life-giving presence all through out our city and region.
