Churches and Christian employers have a unique opportunity to minister to those under their care. The Holy Spirit encourages us to love, serve and care for one another. How we manifest this behavior is unique to each of us, but clear to others.

As Jesus said, "...all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (JOHN 13:35)

Through the Holy Spirit's presence, Christ-centered recovery support groups become a place where God's grace can work miracles.

Information for Churches and Christian Employers


Many Christians desire to be able to minister to those caught up in alcohol and/or drug abuse, but have limited human resources or expertise on just how to effectively minister to those enslaved by addictive lifestyles. That is where we can help.

We offer training and resources to those churches and employers who would like to start an in-house recovery meeting on site. We can also provide personnel to run such a meeting at your facility, be it a church or workplace. All that would be required is a meeting room, and a coffee pot. (Ex-addicts seem to crave caffeine!) We would staff the meeting and clean up after ourselves. Once the meetings take off, we would even be able to offer a token "rent" for the space, as one of the traditions in all 12-step groups states that: "7. Every 12-step group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions." This means that the group takes up a collection and the money is used to purchase coffee, cups, and pay a nominal room rent (generally about $10/week).

The second area we can be of service is The ARC. The link to "The ARC" above gives a detailed overview of the ARC Program. The ARC is a long-term residential treatment program (10+ months). Perhaps someone attending your company, congregation, or someone your church or business has been ministering to, could use an intense program like we have.
