Project Cornerstone

Project Cornerstone was organized at Samaritan in 1995 as a residential long-term recovery program for former substance abusers. The program positions itself as a foundation for broken men to stand on and rebuild themselves. At Samaritan Ministries, they are offered holistic refuge and a chance to recover with confidence. They learn to recognize healthier coping mechanisms, to understand personal triggers, and to address underlying issues.

One of the most powerful aspects of recovery is the sense of community. A connection to people who understand their struggles, who celebrate their victories, and who share in both the laughter and the tears. They lean on Samaritan brotherhood and the saving power of God’s Word. Years later, these men testify of reunited families, healthy spirits, and a new set of tools for addressing everyday life. Up to ten men at a time can be voluntarily admitted into the program, with an average stay of 13 to 18 months. Over 200 men have completed the program and achieved self-sufficiency.

Samaritan Ministries continues to offer hope to Winston-Salem as we pray for your faithful help and support.
