Who we are
A faith-based nonprofit in Trenton, New Jersey, opening a safe, sober home for people rebuilding their lives.
Saving One Soul at a Time
Way of Life Ministry is a faith-based nonprofit that offers a safe, sober, and structured home for adults rebuilding their lives after alcohol or drug addiction, with a special commitment to military veterans.
Way of Life Ministry gives people in recovery and military veterans a safe, sober, faith-based home where they can rebuild their lives, saving one soul at a time.
We believe recovery needs a place to happen. A clean bed, a sober house, clear rules, and people who care can be the difference between relapse and a new beginning. We provide the home. Residents keep their own treatment and care, and we help them stay connected to it.
Way of Life Ministry is a 508(c)(1)(A) faith-based, tax-exempt ministry (EIN 33-4929797) based in Trenton, Mercer County, NJ. Our home is planned as a NJ DCA Class F Cooperative Sober Living Residence: [LICENSE STATUS].
Daniel Knowles, Founder
From Hell to Heaven
Daniel Knowles knows the road to recovery firsthand. He was homeless, in and out of jail, and lost everything to addiction, including his house. On April 18, 2005, he was gifted sobriety and turned his life around. Today he’s a successful real estate investor known as “The Real Sober Investor.” His two passions, recovery and real estate, come together in Way of Life Ministry, healing one soul at a time.

Our values
Dignity
We treat every resident with respect, and we ask the same of everyone in the house. People in recovery are not their worst day.
Safety & accountability
A drug- and alcohol-free home, clear house rules, staff on site overnight, regular testing, and naloxone on hand.
Faith & hope
Our work is rooted in faith [FAITH TRADITION / DENOMINATION]. Faith activities are offered and always optional.
Honor for veterans
Veterans are a priority population. We help connect them to VA care, benefits, and veteran services.
Community
We work hand in hand with churches, treatment providers, courts, and neighbors, because no one recovers alone.
Integrity
We are careful stewards of every gift. We never pay for or accept payment for referrals, and we protect residents’ privacy.
Welcoming to everyone
Way of Life Ministry is a faith-based organization. We welcome people of all faiths and people of no faith. Participation in religious activities is always voluntary, and it is never a condition of admission, continued residence, or services.
