The Vision
The Vision for 6043 Broad
A 2,700 square foot building in Mount Jackson, Virginia. No mortgage. Owned free and clear. Five spaces, each built to serve the mission and pay for itself.
This is what we're turning it into.
Recording & Production Studio
Record at 6043
The "Rebuilding Life After Addiction" podcast reaches families in crisis every week. Honest conversations about what recovery actually looks like. Not theory. Not clinical language. Stories from people who've been through it.
That content is being produced right now with portable gear and borrowed space. This room makes it permanent. Acoustic treatment, cameras, professional audio, and a setup that handles interviews, conversations, and panel discussions.
Between podcast episodes, the studio is available for client recording sessions. Podcasters, content creators, churches, and organizations who need professional production space in the Valley. That's real revenue coming back into the ministry every month.
Your gift builds: Acoustic panels and treatment, studio furniture, cameras, lighting, professional audio equipment.
VisionThe Gathering Room
Gather at 6043
There's a room at 6043 with hardwood floors, a barn door, and enough space to hold something that matters.
Worship nights. Recovery groups where someone says out loud what they've been carrying. A cup of coffee across a table from someone who actually understands.
Cafe tables and a coffee bar on one side. Couches and armchairs in a conversation area. Stacking chairs for when the room fills up. A keyboard, a small stage area, a screen, and a sound system.
The sound system is built to recording standards. That's intentional. A worship set becomes content. A recovery testimony told in front of twenty people on a Thursday night reaches thousands through the podcast. The gathering room is a second production environment with a completely different feel from the studio.
The room is also available for venue rental and bookable recording sessions for artists, churches, and creators who want that live-room sound.
Your gift builds: Cafe tables, couches, armchairs, stacking chairs, coffee bar setup, sound system, projection screen, keyboard, stage lighting.
VisionSober Living Residence
Live at 6043
The apartment side of the building is becoming a men's sober living home. Four beds, structured independent living for men transitioning out of recovery programs and back into work, church, and community.
Residents pay $500/month, utilities included. That rental income covers the building's operating costs and keeps the rest of the ministry sustainable. It's the financial engine underneath everything else on this page.
Sober living isn't a program. It's a bridge. A stable place to land when the program is done but life hasn't fully come together yet. Church attendance is required. Employment is expected. Accountability is built in. The men who live here are doing the work.
Your gift builds: Bedroom furniture, mattresses, linens, kitchen essentials, common area furnishings.
VisionDeck & Outdoor Space
Hang at 6043
A 16x20 composite deck off the back of the building. Dining seating for eight, Adirondack chairs, string lights, and mountain views.
Saturday morning coffee. Cookouts. Overflow space for events. Outdoor seating for studio guests. The one spot at 6043 that doesn't need a purpose beyond giving people a reason to be outside together.
Your gift builds: Deck construction, outdoor dining furniture, Adirondack chairs, string lights.
VisionCommunity Garden & Outdoor Space
Grow at 6043
The backyard at 6043 has a fence line that's perfect for raised beds and an open yard big enough for events, cookouts, and kids programs.
Ten to twelve raised garden beds along the fence. Picnic tables. String lights. And the open yard stays open, because sometimes what a community needs is just a place to be outside together.
There's something about putting your hands in dirt and watching something grow. It's slow. It's quiet. It produces something real. For kids in this community, it's a summer program. For everyone connected to this building, it's a reason to show up.
Your gift builds: Raised bed materials and soil, seeds and starter plants, picnic tables, string lights, outdoor furniture.
VisionThe Building
The First Impression
Fresh exterior paint, a restored metal roof, new seamless gutters, and front landscaping. The outside of this building is the first thing everyone sees. Community members showing up for a worship night. A podcaster pulling in for a recording session. Neighbors driving down Broad Street.
The exterior sets the tone for everything inside.
Your gift builds: Roof restoration, exterior paint, gutters, and front landscaping.
VisionBuilt to Run
Every space at 6043 exists because of the mission. Most of them also generate income.
Half the building is a sober living home for men in recovery. Resident rent covers the building's monthly operating costs. The studio books client recording sessions between podcast episodes. The gathering room is available for venue rental and recording sessions.
The deck and the garden are for the community. No revenue model. Not everything has to make money to matter.
Once the buildout is complete, the building sustains itself. The registry is how we get there.
The Next 25 Years Start Here.
Every space in this building was designed to do two things: serve people in recovery and sustain itself without depending on donations alone.
That's the vision. A ministry that runs, not one that fundraises to survive. The registry is how we build it, one gift at a time, starting at $25.
