From overdose to making a difference — Coach Mike’s story shows how God can transform our deepest pain into our greatest purpose. 💪

As we walk His path of recovery, we’re reminded to “walk slow, don’t race.” It’s not about how fast we get there, but about steady steps forward—one day at a time. Along the way, we don’t just heal ourselves, we become healers for others, with God leading us toward something greater. 🌟

Where in your life do you need to slow down and trust the process?

We see the most beautiful opportunity when children walk through our doors for the first time at CR Kids. 🙏

It’s a blank slate, a fresh start. A chance to tell them about Jesus and show them that church isn't a building, it's the people who love them unconditionally. Every Friday is where the magic begins! ✨

If you brought a child to CR Kids, what would you hope they experience? 🙌

Create a ‘You matter’ presence for those who are struggling.

Actions speak louder than words as we observe Mental Health Awareness Month! 🙌

You don't need to have all the answers or give unsolicited advice.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for someone struggling is simply show up. Being there communicates value, worth, and significance without saying a single word.

YOU are invited to join us tonight starting at 6 PM for dinner, fellowship, worship, and a powerful night of hope, healing, and recovery.

No matter where you are in your journey, there’s a place for you here.

Our 21st Annual Fundraising Banquet was a beautiful reflection of God’s faithfulness and the new chapter beginning for this ministry. ❤️

The night was a powerful reminder of how far recovery ministry has come and the incredible ways lives continue to be changed through faith, community, and restoration. As we continue growing in recovery education, outreach, and discipleship, we’re excited for all that God is doing through this mission.

Every testimony shared and every life impacted points back to His grace. What began as a place for support has continued growing into a ministry focused on bringing lasting hope and healing to individuals and families throughout our community. 🙏

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, prayed, and continues walking alongside this mission. Your encouragement and generosity are helping make life change possible for so many.

We’re excited for what God has ahead. ✨

God doesn't want you to keep falling. He wants you to pick yourself up and move forward! 🙏

The prize isn't behind you or inside you, it's always in front of you.

Your breakthrough is close. Keep pushing toward what God has prepared!

CHRIST-CENTERED RECOVERY SUPPORT

05/22/2026

It wasn't the nails that kept Jesus on the cross - it is His LOVE to SAVE YOU!

In your struggle, desperation, and darkest hour, the "helmet of salvation" can protect your mind from the enemy's attacks of guilt, shame, and relapse.

Allowing you to walk in the freedom of Christ's forgiveness. That's worth remembering and praising Jesus for every day!

We’d love for you to join us for Friday Night Recovery, starting with dinner at 6 PM.
