Agendas
See our Facebook Events page for our weekly agendas, including speakers, panels, teaching, open discussion, etc. If you click “Going” or “Interested,” you’ll get an automatic reminder to attend. These meetings are also posted on Eventbrite if you search Mission Addiction and/or by date.
Purpose
To be a beacon of faith, hope, love, and life for individuals, friends, and families struggling with addiction.
Format
This is a different kind of meeting with something new every week. It’s a safe place to meet, learn, and feel connected with others in similar situations.
We have music, prayer, guest speakers, videos, panels, open discussion, engaging time to practice a new concept or skill, recognition, etc.
We also have prayer and grief support, as well as navigation services to help you get the help you need. Navigation includes treatment, counseling, housing, food, clothing, and much more.
To help reduce the stigma of addiction, we are not anonymous. However, what is shared in our meetings “stays there” – we stress confidentiality and a safe environment.
Everyone is welcome! You don’t have to be impacted by addiction to attend. We can all learn from and support each other, no matter what life brings. Most of our topics apply to everyone anyway.
Feedback:
The most common things we hear about The Lighthouse are:
Appreciate the teaching on Christian faith – without pushing it
Appreciate the guest speakers/education in general – physical, emotional, relational, spiritual
Confidential, yet open – family and friends can come
“Sincere”; “really wants to help”
Other quality services available – navigation, prayer/grief support (more to come)
Flexible meetings and agendas
Sense of community or family; connected
Volunteer opportunities to grow, give back
Bigger mission/vision to help the recovery community, beyond the support group
If you have an interest in setting up another Lighthouse meeting in your area, feel free to contact us about that.
