Partnering for Restoration

Walking With People Into Stable, Hope-Filled Lives

Restoring Hope Ministries extends Christ-centered care beyond our counseling rooms through structured community partnerships. We currently offer host partnerships with UMOS and programming in coordination with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections CCEP — both aimed at helping people transition well into work, community, and restored life.

We are also actively seeking volunteers to assist with financial literacy, job readiness, and life-skills formation. If you have a heart for restoration, we would love to connect with you.

Our Community Transition Programs

UMOS Host Partnerships

Through this partnership, RHM serves as a community host site — providing space, programming, and wrap-around support that help UMOS extend its workforce, housing, and family services to people in the Green Bay region.

Our role is to come alongside UMOS as a trusted, faith-rooted community partner: opening our doors, coordinating care, and connecting participants to biblical soul care, discipleship, and practical resources that strengthen long-term stability.

"Open your homes to one another, without grumbling." — 1 Peter 4:9

  • Coordination of space, scheduling, and participant care
  • Wrap-around soul care, prayer, and discipleship support

Care That Is Measured — Because People Are What Matter

Restoring Hope Ministries tracks the well-being of every participant in our clinical and faith-based services using empirically validated screeners, clinical interviews, behavioral analysis, and self-report — so we can honestly see whether the people we serve are getting better.

This rigor reflects the training of our founder, Dr. Jeffrey Gross, who earned an M.S. in Clinical Psychology from the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology and is continuing his Psy.D. studies in Clinical Psychology, with completion anticipated in 2028. His Th.D. in Theology and Ph.D. in Christian Counseling complement that clinical education with theological preparation for Christ-centered soul care.

At Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin, he served as a Student Psychologist and later Chief Student Psychologist, supporting veterans and first responders with traumatic brain injuries through the BRAVE program. His work included assessment, individualized treatment planning, multidisciplinary rehabilitation, psychoeducational and process-oriented groups, and peer supervision. His experience also includes supervised psychological testing of clergy at Milwaukee Psychotherapy Collaborative, recovery-focused group development at The Manor by Windrose, and case management and peer-support supervision at Biehl Bridges to Recovery.

Continuing education in assessment, trauma, neurobehavioral conditions, supervision, ethics, and risk management further informs this approach. Together, these experiences help shape RHM’s commitment to careful assessment, responsible documentation, collaborative care, and attention to each person’s spiritual, relational, emotional, and practical needs. His clinical psychology doctorate remains in progress; this background does not replace the qualifications or licensure required for regulated clinical services.
