Welcome to Recovery Ministries

Grace Church has a profound commitment to creating healing people, places and processes.  We call these our recovery ministries.  We believe that Jesus came to rescue us from the hell we are living in as well as the hell we are heading to!  We do recovery ministries because everyone has an “it.”  Fundamentally, “it” is a hurt, habit, or hang-up that hinders your walk with God.  Each is described below:

Hurts:  The feeling of being hurt is an emotional reaction to another person’s behavior or to a disturbing situation.  (i.e.:  abuse, abandonment, codependency, divorce or relationship issues.)

Habits:  A habit is an addiction to someone or something.  (i.e.:  alcoholism, drugs, food, gambling, sex, shopping, or smoking.)

Hang-ups:  Hang-ups are negative mental attitudes that are used to cope with people or adversity.  (i.e.:  anger, depression, fear, or unforgiveness.)  These life problems can be stumbling blocks or stepping-stones.  Healing is available through applying the principles of a Bible based program.

Serenity Prayer

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next.  Amen.  -  Reinhold Niebuhr
