RE: Recovery Ministry
Overview and explanation of the program
The Recovery Ministry is a Christ centered ministry dealing with hurts, habits and hang-ups. We connect with those that are suffering from uncontrollable afflictions, including but not limited to chemical dependency, co-dependency and sexual addictions. Those looking for a way out will learn & use tools to begin dealing with problems and will be offered opportunity to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ. An extensive life review is used to reveal causes and conditions. This is accomplished by the use of a twelve step program based upon eight principles of Celebrate Recovery and the beatitudes found in Mathew 5. By working the Christ Centered biblical principles we begin to find freedom. This new found freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly a stronger personal relationship with God and the desire to serve others. We offer strong mentoring both through sponsorship and accountability partners. Ministries include Celebrate Recovery, Step Studies (gender separated small groups), Men of Freedom and Partners in Progress.
