CHRIST POWERED RECOVERY (CPR)
“Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” — John 8:36 (NIV)
Addiction can take many forms. Christ Powered Recovery (CPR) is a fellowship that helps those struggling and recovering from alcohol, drugs and sexual addiction, while offering support and community to the family members who love them. This group practices the proven 12-Step Recovery program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in the context of scripture.
If you, or a family member is going through the challenges of addiction, you don’t have to face this battle alone. Through the power of God’s Word, personal responsibility, accountability to others, and a supportive community, you will find hope during the road to recovery, and be free to live a brand new life in Jesus Christ! Come on out and celebrate recovery! Everyone is welcome.

- Mondays starting at 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in MC Rooms 130-132 at our Porter Ranch location

THRONE OF GRACE
Throne of Grace is a confidential 12-week ministry to assist women in their post abortive trauma, that will enable them to seek healing and forgiveness in Christ. The complex issues surrounding the choice to terminate a crisis pregnancy makes every woman's journey individual. Post abortion stress may affect the spiritual and mental health of women desperately trying to cope in a society and culture that leave no area for her to mourn her loss. When a woman is restored to the right relationship with God, she is open to a brighter future, benefiting His kingdom.
