Recovery Through Christ

Even as God's Children, we all have struggles in our lives. This recovery program will cover all of the bases by focusing on the big issues that bring pain into our lives, as well as spend time searching through the smaller matters that many of us face.
Whether you struggle with dishonesty, stress, anger, low self-esteem, eating disorders, alcoholism, co-dependency, substance abuse, sexual addiction, or maybe you just struggle with sin in general, the purpose for the Recovery - Through Christ ministry is to offer you the strength, hope, and healing that you need in your life.
No matter what hardship you may be facing, Jesus tells us to, "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS" ( Matthew 11:29).
As we work through this program together, we will study Jesus' way to truly have peace in our lives. You are not alone anymore!

What we are:

A safe place for Christians who struggle with sin.

A place to come to a better understanding of God's love, grace, and mercy.

A place to grow and become strong again.

What we are not:

A place for therapy

A place to judge others

A quick fix

A place of perfection
