We ALL face struggles at one time or another AND we need the help of God and others to face them. If you are looking for HOPE amidst the real-life struggles you are facing right now, we welcome you to join us in one of our Christ-centered recovery programs. They are safe places to discuss real-life issues without fear of being judged or condemned, and where your identity will remain confidential.

Group time:
- 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
