ithaSexuallyAddictedM
anSexual addiction and its causes are largely unknow
n to most people.
This group not only provides support, but also helps wom
en seek an understanding of their ow
n personal issues. Co-D
ependents can then confront their ow
n denial and behavior while gaining insight and
understanding of their spouse’s sexual addiction.
RecoveryfromAnger
Individualgroupsformenandw
omen
These recovery groups are for men and w
omen w
ho find that anger is their first response to problem
s of any size. The anger may be very evident as rage,
or less obvious in terms of w
ithdrawal and isolation. These groups focus on
managing a G
od-given emotion in constructive w
ays.
RacialInjusticeThis group is for anyone w
ho has endured the trauma of racial injustice.
Racial injustice is a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the
various human racial groups determ
ine cultural or individual achievement,
usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right
to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to others.
(dictionary.com) Recovery includes healing from
the traumas done to us, and
healing from the influence these past and current experiences continue to
have on our lives.

Small G
roup Guidelines
1. Keep your sharing focused on your ow
n thoughts, feelings, and actions. Please lim
it your sharing to three to five m
inutes.
2. There is N
O cross-talk please. C
ross-talk is when tw
o people engage in a dialogue during the m
eeting. Each person sharing is free to express feelings w
ithout interruptions.
3. W
e are here to support one another. We w
ill not attem
pt to “fix” one another.
4. Anonym
ity and confidentiality are basic requirements.
What is shared in the group stays in the group. The only
exception is when som
eone threatens to injure themselves
or others.
5. O
ffensive language has no place in a Christ-centered
recovery group.

PurposeofCelebrationPlaceSom
etimes the hurts, hang-ups and habits that children struggle w
ith go unnoticed. That’s w
hy Celebration Place is so im
portant. It’s a place where
children ages K-5th grade can discover their own pathw
ay to healing.
With structure, love, discipline, and guidance, w
e hope to help children to develop life skills that w
ill be vital in their times of struggle and daily
life. Celebration Place is designed to equip children w
ith practical coping techniques, strategies, and values to prevent the developm
ent of unhealthy coping m
echanisms. W
e like to think of it as “PREcovery.”
Celebration Place gives children…
•
Hope for all the am
azing things God has in store for them
•
Truths that help them overcom
e life’s challenges by learning to lean on Jesus
• Joy as they em
bark on a wonderful, year-long journey of songs, gam
es, videos, im
pactful experiences, and great conversation
• Friendships w
ith other children

PurposeofTheLandingThrough the Landing, w
e can find a safe place to find help, hope, and healing through engaging the recovery principles and grow
ing in relationship with
Jesus Christ. This m
inistry allows our students the ability to start changing
our lives early, so they don’t have to walk through m
ore pain later in life and not have a w
ay to grow through it. This program
changes lives and can change yours, too. There is no hurt, no struggle, no lie that is too strong for Jesus to carry and heal. The Landing helps us to find a bett
er way forw
ard so that w
e can live, through Jesus, a life of lasting freedom, hope, and purpose.
