Recovery

Our mid-week service, Growing in Grace, is for all people in all walks of life who suffer from any type of addiction.

Every Wednesday evening, St. Andrew’s vans make the rounds to treatment centers and halfway houses to pick up those who do not have their own transportation. The evening begins with a home-cooked dinner that is prepared by various groups in the church and is followed by a time of praise and worship in the sanctuary, Biblical teaching and a 12-step, “roundtable” discussion. More than 100 people attend these weekly meetings, and the power of Jesus Christ is evident each week.

GIG’s ministry does not stop at meeting the spiritual needs of those struggling with addiction. GIG has also donated clothing, food, furniture and even cars to those in need, following Jesus’ command to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. Many who have been trapped in addictions find God’s grace at GIG and then in turn minister to others who need assistance in coming into the same place of grace.
