Our purpose
GET ENGAGED - In our faith and community
To provide a healthy community for those caught up in addictions. Introducing God’s plan of spiritual and physical rescue and recovery, laying the groundwork for long-term, sustained rehabilitation, restoration, and health.
BE EMPOWERED - By Gods word
Empowered by the Gospel message; exchanging unhealthy attitudes, words, and thoughts with those that lead to recovery, restoration, and physical, mental and spiritual health.
GET EXCITED - about our new life!
Our Mission
We uniquely fill the gap between rehab and restoration in the recovery process.
The transition between leaving a rehab facility, with no money, no job, no healthy people or places to go to, and full restoration is a process where many get lost and relapse. Having burned bridges, many are forced to seek help from people caught up in their former destructive lifestyle, only to find themselves back there again. We are that first phone call or meeting of hope and support, providing initial reassurance, options, and opportunity for introduction to a new environment among sober, healthy people, places, and things that are critical to the successful recovery process. We facilitate a recovering addict’s transition from rehab to halfway house to sober program to being an active, healthy part of a healthy community.
We are seeking and praying to open a Faith based recovery center in lower Bucks (Levittown / Bristol area). Waiting on God to provide the funds and facility! This center will provide meeting space for our addiction meetings, “Recovery Church” – “church service geared to those recovering from addiction, life’s hang-ups, hurts and habits. Space for social activities, one to one mentoring and general meeting space. To provide low- income housing, many times known as sober living and recovery housing, either on campus and or at separate locations throughout the community.
[1] At a meeting in 1991, Tyndale House Publishers partnered with Stephen Arterburn and David Stoop to create The Life Recovery Bible, which includes traditional study Bible features along with devotionals to give fellow strugglers a meaningful connection to God’s Word. This Bible is designed for people involved in Twelve Step recovery programs who have longed for a tool that integrates the Twelve Steps with Scripture. Introducing them to the true Power greater than ourselves, the God of the Bible, The Life Recovery Bible provides a strong biblical foundation for recovery. And for people who know the Bible but are in need of recovery, it introduces them to the Twelve Steps in a Christ-centered recovery program.
