SOBER is a bible-based church and recovery program:
• Bible Studies
• Home Groups
• 12-step Meetings
• Mentoring
• Worship
• Ministry
Bible Studies are the front line of SOBER. We bring bible studies into transitional living houses. These houses are 90 day recovery programs for men and women in transition from jail, prison or the streets. To be in compliance, the residents need to attend at least five meetings each week; AA, NA, or some type of recovery meeting. The bible study is offered as an option and is counted as a compliance meeting. This may be the first time many of these men and women hear the gospel in recovery terms.
Home Groups are small groups within SOBER. Men and women of the church open their homes for others to come together to study the bible and to fellowship. This is an opportunity for discipleship and spiritual growth in knowledge of the word of God as we seek his purpose in our lives.
12-step Meetings are the workshops of SOBER. In these meetings, we come together to talk about how God is working in our lives. These meetings give the general public the chance to see God at work in recovery. This is also the place to look for a sponsor to guide us on our 12-step spiritual journey. As we grow in our relationship with Jesus, we grow in our sobriety. Jesus is our higher power and the Holy Spirit is our strength.
