Rehab Resources

We have been going through a series at The Porch called "Rehab" and talking about how we all have sin, we all have a past, and we all have problems we simply cannot get over on our own.

Help is available. Below is a list of resources—places within the church where you can find a community of people who will help you find healing through God's truth. The first step truly is acknowledging that you need help, and we would strongly encourage you to take that step of reaching out to the ministries below.

For all hurts, habits, and hang-ups:

re:generation

Children's Building, 2nd floor.

The re:generation ministry is a Christ-centered 12-step program that can help with literally anything you may be struggling with, including any type of addiction, coping mechanism, past hurt, or sin struggle. It meets every Monday at 6:30 p.m., and you can join at any time without registering--just show up. If you have questions, please contact Lauren Phillips at regen@watermark.org or 214-393-3042.
