Recovery

Getting through life can sometimes be a struggle. It's even worse if you're trying to go it alone. Jesus never promised it would be easy, but He did promise that He would always be with us (Matthew 28:20). He accomplishes this, in part, through our relationships and support of each other.

If you're struggling in life or if you've gone through hardship, let us come alongside and share with you the comfort, care, support and understanding that comes from the Lord. Join others who have gone through similar experiences in life and gain strength.

You'll also find people who have been through the same things you have. Together you can share your struggles, strengths, hurts and hopes, and overcome through community, God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. In addition to having two licensed counselors on staff, we offer faith-based classes listed below. Scholarships are available for all classes. Please don't let the cost prohibit you from attending. Contact the class leader for more information on scholarships.

Ongoing Group | Contact Leader for location (Spokane Valley) & next group date

AbAnon (Abortion Anonymous) exists to help women recover from the emotional pain caused by abortion. Members participate in an 8-week recovery program that involves weekly, gender-specific small group meetings facilitated by a trained, post-abortive leader. Groups are safe, confidential, and held in neutral locations. Groups typically have no more than eight participants. Women will have an opportunity to talk about:

•Their abortion story

•Post Abortion Stress Syndrome (PASS)

•Their unborn child

•Their relationships

•How abortion has affected them

•Their coping methods

•Their guilt and shame

•God, faith and forgiveness

•Their healing

There is no charge for the class, but you will need to purchase The Power of Your Story book. For more information and to register, contact Gilah Messerer at 509.981.7842 or @ messerer.gilah@gmail.com
