PATH To Recovery

A Biblically Based Recovery Program

What is a Biblically Based Recovery Program?

We are first and foremost a “safe place to be.” We are a group-oriented program and what is said in the group stays in the group. Everyone who attends must agree to this guideline.

What can I expect when I show up?

The evening will begin in the main sanctuary with both men and women–ADULTS ONLY. There will be music, worship and praise.

Following worship will be either a testimony by someone that has been through a Recovery Program or a short teaching on one of the 8 Recovery Principles and their Biblical comparisons. Men and women will then separate into different groups to work through the study books. Afterwards everyone will go home with workbooks and some assignments. This is for a step study – not for regular weekly meetings.  Men and women will then separate into open share groups ….

Why as a Christian would I need a Recovery Group?

Some of us have recognizable problems. Alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual addiction, food addiction, gambling or internet addictions, and the list goes on.

Some of us have hang ups not so noticeable to others or to ourselves such as anger, bitterness, hatred, resentfulness, divisiveness, gossiping, idleness and so on.

Some of us have hurts no one knows about. These things can prevent us from living in the peace and fullness that God longs for us to have. It could be physical or emotional abuse, or it could be emotional trauma that isn’t anyone’s fault, but the pain from it doesn’t allow you to be “whole”.

If you are human and you are a Christian it is a lifelong process to become more like our Savior. We are all addicted to SIN!

A Recovery Group that is based in Biblical Principles can be the safest place to work through this addiction.

Time: Wednesdays — 7 pm to 8:45 pm.
