Recovery at The Village

a repentance and reconciliation ministry

Recovery At The Village Church exists to bring glory to God through lives changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. He does this as we live the greatest command, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and secondly, loving one another as ourselves. We draw near to God by His grace through faith and the application of the principals of Community, Truth, Repentance, Prayer, Reconciliation, Study of the Scriptures, Christian Spirituality, Missional Living, and Serving one another.

Recovery At The Village is not self-help, but a Christ-centered discipleship program, which helps people who struggle with affects of sin that keep us from living healthy, productive lives. Through Christ we find freedom from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. Recovery At The Village is a safe place to step out of the darkness and into the light to allow God’s grace to change our hearts.

Weeknight Supporting Ministries

These meetings are a great entry point into recovery. These meetings provide opportunities to connect with other people and build relationships that will be essential in completing the program. Each week there is worship, prayer, teaching or testimony, fellowship opportunities, and small groups.

We currently have small groups addressing the following areas of recovery: men’s sexual addiction (lust to homosexuality), men’s addiction (drugs, alcohol, food, etc.), men’s pride and anger, women’s food issues, victims of abuse, women’s co-dependency (fear of man), and women’s addiction (drugs, alcohol, sex, etc.). If one of these groups don’t fit you, we also have “Life issues” groups for men and women which address any struggle not specifically addressed in another group. Some examples might be Adult Child of an Alcoholic, Anger (for women), Anxiety (fear), Depression, Divorce, Gambling, Guilt and Shame, Loneliness, Relationship issues and Pride. Sin manifests itself through our flesh in many different ways, but they have all have common roots and therefore a shared solution. That common solution we find in Christ!

Step Studies

In addition to our regularly scheduled weeknight meetings, Recovery at the Village Church offers step studies throughout the year. This is a process of intense discipleship with Biblical teaching. Over the past year we have had over 500 individuals engage in this process. Through step studies we actively work through the recovery principals. This requires a deeper level of commitment and is a place to deepen relationships and find accountability in the application of the biblical principals involved in lives changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Child care is provided free of charge if a reservation is made in advance. The next Step Study will be September 6th at the Denton Campus from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and sign ups will be available closer to those dates. Before signing up for Step Studies, please attend the Tuesday/Thursday night gatherings to find a qualified sponsor.

Future Step Studies
