Recovery

Recovery...Our Common Journey
One of our core values at Christ the King Church is a Culture of Recovery. But even the word recovery comes with its own baggage. People may associate recovery groups with substance addiction or those who have endured significant abuse.

From our perspective, recovery is simply the process of recovering the life God intended for us. What we have found is that sometimes people need a little help along the way. A culture of recovery means encouragement to be honest and authentic about where you are without judgment or condemnation. In other words, you get to be a real person.

Recovery groups and classes at CTK provide a community setting where you can experience God's healing presence and power in a safe & supportive environment. By working through well developed materials, applying biblical principles, and sharing our experience with others we begin to grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally in our journey. 

People come to Christ the King Church in all in shapes and sizes with just as many needs. We offer a variety of seasonal classes designed to meet these needs with the primary purpose of restoring the broken and discouraged by providing a caring, safe environment which will encourage, equip, and empower individuals to experience God's fulfillment and purpose for their lives. In addition to 12 Steps, we offer classes such as Boundaries, Search for Significance, and Divorce Recovery.

Here is a little information about our Fall 2010 classes:

WHY CHRISTIANS STAY STUCK:  You will, at one time or another, experience frustrations in your walk with God.  It may be disappointment with yourself, because of lack of discipline; or disappointment with God due to unanswered prayer, or no evidence of the abundant life He promises.  You may lose hope, or joy, or meaning.  You may be confused because of the pain you've experienced.  If you can't get past some fear, pain, loss or confusion, come discover how to get unstuck.  (Monday evenings Sept. 20 to Nov. 15)

STAND FIRM:  If you're a man in the grip of addiction with no hope in sight, you don't have to stay that way. Stand Firm provides understanding, knowledge and practical steps to gain freedom and stand firm as a man of character and integrity – by the grace of God. You'll meet with other men on Thursday nights for a time of connection, support, instruction and prayer.  You'll learn why your compulsive behavior keeps happening even when you've prayed about it and swore you'd never do it again.   Whether you struggle with sexual issues, anger, being critical, a lack of faith or any similar issue, Stand Firm provides a safe, highly confidential place to gain understanding, knowledge and skills to break destructive patterns.  Don't wait another day. Get the help you need to stand firm and live free. (Monday evenings Sept. 13 to Dec. 13)

DIVORCE CARE:   Divorced or separated? You don't have to go through it alone! Whether recent or in the past, separation and divorce are among life's most difficult and painful experiences. You need the help and encouragement of others as you attempt to heal and restore balance to your life. CTK's new DivorceCare groups are a special place of encouragement, information and sharing. DivorceCare groups meet weekly, providing you with an ongoing "support team" as you deal with the issues surrounding your separation or divorce.  (Monday evenings Sept. 20 to Dec. 13)

CHANGES:  Are you looking for a practical way to deal with life's hurts, hang-ups or even addictions that have disconnected you from God, others and yourself? Take a bold step and join us for Changes, an ongoing open support group based on the 12-step spiritual journey. Come get the caring, confidential support you need to identify and work through tough issues in your life. (Thursday evenings, beginning Sept 9th meets weekly)
