Our Vision

Through the discipline of daily renewing the mind, as described in Romans 12:2, our vision is to stoke the widespread restoration of individuals and families who have been affected by addiction.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2 (ESV)

Our Values

We Teach What We Bleed

ZERO JUDGMENT: We have been where you are

God is not surprised by your sin and neither are we. Jesus loved all types of sinners, from addicts to adulterers, the broken and sick. He carried our burden to the cross. We carry each other through pain and trauma, always pointing each other back to the cross.

Matthew 7:1-5; Galatians 6:1-6

FORGIVENESS: Freedom starts here

We received God’s Mercy, so we show mercy. Forgiveness is not for ‘them’, it’s for you. Without forgiveness, your spiritual and emotional growth remains stagnant.

Ephesians 4:32; Matthew 6:14-15; Colossians 3:13

HUMILITY: What are you wearing

If you truly desire change, growth and freedom, you must take a long hard look in the mirror. If you see you’re wearing anger, offense, defensiveness, lies, deceit, etc. change your outfit.

HUMILITY IS A HOLY REQUIREMENT;
IT’S NOT OPTIONAL

Colossians 3:12; Micah 6:8; Proverbs 15:13

FEEDBACK: There are no failures, ONLY FEEDBACK

Our goal is to change worldly views of life as being pass/fail. We focus on how to grow through relationship with Christ and community. FEEDBACK GOES BOTH WAYS We welcome opportunities to hear your heart and commit to clarify what is in ours.

Romans 12:2; Proverbs 1;5; Proverbs 19:20; James 1:19

HONOR: Heaven’s currency

Honor protects freedom. We show proper respect to each other. We fear God. We lead with love. Like feedback, honor is a two way street. In order to gain honor, you must give honor.

1 Peter 2:17; Romans 12:10; John 5:23; Proverbs 15:13

INTEGRITY: Be aware

What is done in secret WILL be exposed. We choose to focus on our own integrity and celebrate it in others. We are aware of sinful conditions, but we choose to stand in unwavering faith.

We choose to focus on HONOR, JUSTICE, PURITY, LOVE, EXCELLENCE, AND ALL THINGS WORTHY OF PRAISE.

Proverbs 10:9; Philippians 4:8; 1 Corinthians 16:14

TRUST: It’s given in thimbles and lost in buckets

Trust is built on observation. Our patterns are what people watch. When we combine humility, honor, integrity, and aggressive authenticity, we develop strong character. We also build the trust, character, and relationships of tomorrow by engaging in actions becoming of a disciple of Christ.

Matthew 18:15-20; Matthew 5:24; Galatians 5:22-23, 6:16; Titus 2:12; Romans 3:23:

AUTHENTICITY: Little given, little gained

We disciple though real relationships built on trust and “aggressive authenticity”. We create an atmosphere for people to be open and honest by leading in vulnerability and authenticity.

2 Corinthians 11:27-33; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Galatians 6:7

Biblical Foundations

Transformative Obedience to God

 

Romans 6:16 (NLT)
“Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey to God, which leads to righteous living.”

Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV)
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.“

1 Peter 1:7 (NASB)
“So that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Isaiah 48:9-11 (NASB)
“For the sake of My name I delay My wrath, And for My praise I restrain it for you, In order not to cut you off. “Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For My own sake, I will act; for how can My name be profaned? And My glory I will not give to another.”

Revelation 3:18 (NASB)
“I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.”

Addiction is Pervasive

“Deliverance happens in a moment. Freedom is in the walk.” – Heather Schott
  • We receive phone call after phone call from moms, wives, siblings, friends who are desperate because their loved one is addicted.
  • Addiction is one of the most insidious and destructive enemies to the family unit.
  • Addiction is just as pervasive in the church as in the world and because of shame and condemnation, people don’t seek help.
  • Statistics Report: Of the ones who are being honest, more than 70% of men in the Church are addicted to pornography alone.
  • The Holy Spirit delivers people from addiction all the time, freedom and restoration happen by walking through the healing process in community.
