Transforming Lives for Generations

Recovery & Support Groups

We offer several Christ-centered Recovery & Support Groups which are designed to offer strength, guidance, and healing for individuals coping with emotionally painful experiences or trying to overcome destructive behavioral patterns. This ministry exists to see lives changed through a deeper experience of God's grace, which heals the brokenhearted and sets people free. We believe this happens best in a safe, confidential environment through a shared love for each other and faith in Christ.

All groups meet on our church campus in The Potter's House unless otherwise indicated.

RECOVERY NIGHT

Monday Evenings - 6:30-7:30 p.m.
This is a Christ-centered program for individuals who are struggling with addictions and co-dependency. It is based on the 12-steps with a recognition that Jesus Christ is our Higher Power. As we share our experience, strength and hope, we are able to find freedom through God's grace.

These groups are based on the format of community 12-step meetings. People who attend do not register, pay any fees, and choosing to speak during the meeting is entirely voluntary. New people may begin attending at any time.

In order to provide a safe environment for people to deal with difficult issues, we ask all group members to respect the need for anonymity and confidentiality. Who attends and what is said is not be shared outside of the group session.

Things We Are:
A place where everyone is respected.
A place for healthy challenges.
A safe place to share.
A refuge
A place to remove your mask.

Things We Are Not:
A place for therapy.
A place to judge others.
A place to rescue or be rescued.
A place to find a date.
A quick fix.

Women's Recovery Group - This group is for women who are struggling with co-dependency or an addiction. (alcohol, substance abuse, sexual addictions, overeating, compulsive spending, etc.) This is a group where open and honest sharing will give women an opportunity to find freedom, peace and joy through a stronger personal relationship with God and others. For more information contact Michelle (792-9060) or Mary Ellen (696-3579).

Men's Recovery Group - This group is for men who are struggling with an addiction. It may be a chemical dependency to alcohol or drugs, a sexual addiction, compulsive gambling, or an inability to stop overeating. These and other addictions can be secrets that keep us in bondage spiritually. This group can be a real opportunity for change. For more information contact Rob (793-6393) or Mark (792-9060)

SAFE People - New Group beginning Thursday, March13, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. Are you looking for healthy relationships? This group will help you find out what to do and what NOT to do to develop balanced and healthy relationships with family and friends. It answers questions like: What do unsafe people look like? Do I attract unsafe people? How do I develop a safe relationship? You'll discover why it is not as simple as thinking that Christians are safe and non-Christians are unsafe. This group will give you practical help in finding relationships that are good for you and avoiding those that aren't.
This new 13-week group is based on the book Safe People by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. It is recommended as a follow-up to the Boundaries Group, but it is not required to have already completed that course.
