Introduction to Higher Ground

Higher Ground is a journey of hope!

Through applying the truth of scripture, working the 12-steps, and sharing in fellowship with other people in recovery, Higher Ground participants let go of past hurts, triumph over current problems, and learn to depend on God.

Higher Ground is a bridge — between the traditional 12-step programs and the Church. People who are searching for their Higher Power need Jesus. People who struggle with addictions, compulsions and codependency need 12-step recovery programs.

Everyone is Welcome

Anyone is welcome to Higher Ground meetings.

We provide support groups for men and women of all ages.

The support group participants, whatever their need, find the extra care and encouragement necessary to grow beyond the wounds of life’s battles, the difficulties in family relationships, the bondage of addictive habits and behaviors, and the isolation caused by shame. Higher Ground meetings are filled with the faith, hope, and love that only Go can provide through Christ.

Who attends Higher Ground ?

• Church members who need a safe place to share the truth about their lives – their problems, struggles, and recovery needs.

• New Believers who still struggle with past hurts, old habits, and the consequences of sinful behavior – forgiven, but not forgotten.

• Christian visitors from outside the church who are familiar with other twelve-step recovery programs but who seek association with Christians who name Jesus Christ as their Higher Power.

• Visitors, both Christian and non-Christian, who have yet to trust Christ and may not feel comfortable in a formal worship service, yet they seek personal recovery in the anonymous support group environment of Higher Ground meetings. Countless visitors have come to Higher Ground meetings to seek recovery help, and discover the power of Jesus Christ and the salvation He offers.
