A Journey of Hope.

Christians in Recovery is...
A fellowship of men and women who have been affected either directly or indirectly by the cause of any mood-altering chemical or compulsive behavior. We believe that as we look to a loving God for help, and put into practice those principles for living which He has given in His Word, we will find both the strength and freedom we need to live productive and happy lives. We strongly believe that our “higher power” is Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

Our five-fold purpose, based directly upon the Word of God is set forth as follows:
1. To provide fellowship in recovery.
2. To be and to live reconciled to God and His family.
3. To gain a better understanding of alcohol and mood-altering chemicals and the disease of addiction.
4. To be built up and strengthened in our faith in Christ.
5. To render dedicated services to others who are suffering as we once suffered.

Through applying the truth of scripture, working the twelve-steps, and sharing in fellowship with others, we learn to let go of past hurts, triumph over current problems, and learn to depend on God.

Everyone is welcome!

Who attends Christians in Recovery?
Church Members who need a safe place to share the truth about their lives, their problems, struggles, and recovery needs.

New Believers who still struggle with past hurts, old habits, and the consequences of sinful behavior – forgiven but not forgotten.

Christian Visitors from outside the church who are familiar with other twelve-step recovery programs but who seek association with Christians who name Jesus Christ as their Higher Power.

Outside Visitors who have yet to trust Christ and may not feel comfortable in a formal worship service, yet they seek personal recovery in the anonymous, support group environment. Countless visitors have come to seek recovery help, and soon discovered the power of Jesus Christ and the salvation He offers.

Christian Recovery meetings operate within the local church or community organization. They provide Christ-centered, recovery support and fellowship for those whose quality of life has suffered due to problems such as:
ANGER
DIFFICULTY IN RELATIONSHIPS

ADDICTION TO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL
EATING DISORDERS
SEXUAL ADDICTION
PORNOGRAPHY
LOVE AND ROMANCE ADDICTION
