1 Corinthians 10:13
Helping men find freedom from addiction through Jesus Christ
About Us
Hammerdown Ministries was born from a shared vision between two men who personally experienced the struggles of addiction. Barry Spears and Hunter Dease, Pastor and Assistant Pastor of Sonrise Baptist Church in Columbia, SC, felt a deep burden to reach the lost and addicted with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. On October 6, 2021, they began holding addiction recovery meetings in Lugoff, SC. Through these meetings, God began revealing His plan for what would become Hammerdown Ministries.As of October 4, 2024, Hunter stepped into full-time ministry as the Program Director of Hammerdown Ministries, leaving his job to fully dedicate himself to this mission. His wife, Brittany, along with their children—Braylen, Ashton, Hayden, and Gracie—play a vital role in supporting the ministry.At Hammerdown Ministries, men are met with love, mercy, and grace. Many have found not only freedom from addiction but also a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our Work
The primary mission of Hammerdown Ministries is to provide men with a place where they can hear and embrace the Gospel. This is accomplished through various avenues, including attending church three times a week, participating in daily Bible studies, and working through the Hope4Addictions curriculum (hope4addictions.com).Beyond spiritual growth, the men are equipped with essential life skills, from cooking and cleaning to learning various trades. We also assist with obtaining driver’s licenses and addressing any court-related matters. Faith-based counseling is available not only for the men but also for their families, ensuring holistic support.During their 6-12 month stay at our facility, we prepare these men to successfully re-enter their communities with the tools they need to lead productive lives. As a charitable non-profit, Hammerdown Ministries operates solely on donations, which cover all expenses and make this life-changing program possible.
