Recovery

It's ok to not be ok

Wednesdays at 6:30 pm | No Registration Required | Kids Care Available

Bringing glory to God through lives changed by the gospel.

The gospel is good news to all people: the weak, the wounded, the strayed, the lost, the addicted, the afflicted, the abused, the confused, the betrayed, and the dismayed.

It is only through the gospel of Jesus Christ, His life, death, resurrection, and future return, that we will find true healing and freedom from our sin and suffering. Christ is our healer and redeemer, and in Him, we find life and life abundantly.

How Our Recovery Ministry Works

Come as You Are

You don’t need to sign up, simply show up. Whatever you are going through, there is a place for you. Recovery isn’t just for people wrestling with addiction, but for all people who want a place to be honest about their struggles. We welcome both believers and the skeptic with honest questions. We provide childcare for birth - 5th grade at no cost.

Worship in a Large Group

We start the night off in a large group setting, where you will be led in a time of worship, prayer and biblical teaching. Throughout each semester, you will also hear stories of lives changed by the gospel.

Join a Small Group

Then we move into issue-specific small groups. If you’ve never been before, we offer a newcomers group to orient you to the ministry, answer questions and can help point you to a specific small group.

Our recovery ministry has weekly issue-specific groups that meet to support the following:

Chemical Addiction

Difficulties with addiction to substances and alcohol. Whether your addiction struggles are current or in the past, there is a community for you to walk in accountability and wisdom.

Trauma & Abuse

Suffering can come at the hands of others—through verbal, emotional, sexual, financial, or physical abuse. While trauma can result from abuse, it can also come from other experiences. We aim to create an environment that cares well for those who have experienced both abuse and trauma.

Suffering & Grief

Suffering and grief due to all forms of loss. This includes the death of a loved one, disease, relational loss, situational grief, and/or disabilities.

Anxiety & Depression

Difficulties related to anxiety and depression. Whether your mental health struggles are current or in the past, chronic or situational, there is community for you to walk in accountability and wisdom.

Guilt & Shame

Shame, guilt or false guilt from sin committed against you or sin you’ve committed.

Anger

Difficulties related to anger and resentment, including bitterness, frustration, explosiveness, rage, harsh language, passive aggressiveness, etc.

Sexual Struggles

This includes the spectrum of sexual struggles—from lust and disordered desires to pornography and homosexuality.

Marriage Troubles

Issues with marriage conflict, infidelity, abandonment, betrayal, divorce or ongoing toxicity in marriage. Initially, we encourage people to participate in the separate Men’s and Women’s marriage troubles groups.

Life Struggles

We always have a group for Men’s Life Struggles and Women’s Life Struggles. These groups are meant to act as a “catch all” or if the other groups do not describe the issues you are facing.

Recovery Gathering and Support Groups
Wherever you find yourself, Recovery provides ongoing support and counsel to men and women within a loving, redemptive community.

Steps: An Intensive Discipleship Program
Steps is a semester-long program consisting of daily Bible study and reflection, assessments, one-on-one discipleship, small group and teaching. We offer biblical counsel in the context of a redemptive community. Steps helps us get traction in our relationship with God by addressing unresolved issues from our past, uprooting unhealthy patterns of coping and practicing basic principles of spiritual formation that bring about maturity in Christ.
