EDUCATE. ADVOCATE. CONNECT.
EVERYONE DESERVES HELP.
Regardless of the reasons behind abuse or misuse, we strongly believe that everyone is worthy and deserving of help when it is needed. We recognize the issues that are facing the young people in our local and global community and are aware of the harmful trends toward drug and alcohol abuse. Working with professional community organizations, we offer a variety educational and advocacy opportunities throughout the year focused on preventative measures and information sharing. We believe that education plays a vital role in preventing addictions and unhealthy behaviors such as drinking, drug use, gambling, self-medication, and more.
If you, or someone you know, is struggling with addiction, we are here for you. We work hard to collaborate with organizations in the community so that we can connect you to necessary services available when they are needed most.
The Landing: Celebrate Recovery for Teens
We are excited to announce that we will be launching The Landing: Celebrate Recovery for teens in 2025! Celebrate Recovery is for EVERYONE! No one should have to face their pain alone. The Landing will be a grace-filled community of strugglers who courageously enter this safe and beautiful space to get honest about our pain, and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God, and others. In this process, we come to accept that some of the habits we have developed to escape our pain may have hurt us and those close to us. It is a biblically based approach to help us achieve long lasting recovery by healing our hurts, guiding us toward new healthy truths, and developing life-giving habits.
Stay tuned for our launch date!
