The Rejavanated story began in a prison cell. Bloomfield native Brian Patterson's life had quickly eroded as addiction devastated his relationships, his body and his hopes for the future. But God had other plans. 

​

Within a few years of being released from prison, Brian helped found Rebuilt Ministries in Bloomfield - a nontraditional church - to give others people battling addiction the same hope he found in a relationship with Jesus. Soon, Rebuilt Recovery & Discipleship was born - a seven-month intensive addiction recovery facility for men, also in Bloomfield. 

​

Men - like Anthony Stevens - found recovery when they literally had nothing left. "I had an empty void in me, and I tried to fill that with drugs," says Anthony, one of the graduates. Anthony found faith in Jesus, and now has a steady job, a loving wife and a little girl. Recently, Anthony joined the Rebuilt team full-time to try to help others struggling with addiction find another chance at life.

​

However, residential recovery ministry is expensive, and most of the men can't pay or work as they recover. Brian had a dream to build a business that could support the critical work being done at Rebuilt. It would be a legitimate for-profit business, but the profits would support the ministry. A generous donor with ties to the Bloomfield area stepped in, donating the building and helping to turn 12 West Main into a stylish spot building bridges into the community over a good cup of coffee. Next door, Replay also recently launched, a meeting spot and arcade which is a safe place for people of all ages to play together.

​

"We want a safe place where people from all walks of life can find relationships," says Brian. Our vision is that is that all who enter are loved well and can step into a place of healing."
