Wounded Healers

Foundation Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6

Meetings: Tuesdays at 6:00pm

This group serves to be a bridge of transition for persons who have walked the road of addiction and be a recovery outpost for those affected by addiction as participants or a close observer. Because they’ve dealt with their own challenges in the past, they more easily understand hardship. In this ministry, persons with any former addiction - drugs, alcohol, smoking, sex, food, gambling, etc. are encouraged and welcome to attend.

Facilitators: Rev. Dr. Michael Elam, Elder Tom Carter
