Purity


Resourcing Groups

Accountability and community are vital to recovering from sexual addiction. Please consider a support group to allow people an opportunity to join with you in pursuing Christ and walking in the freedom He gives us. The groups are as follows:

Celebrate Recovery

Thursdays, 6:30–8:30pm, Room 263 (Akron Campus). For those struggling with addictions, providing a core foundation for recovery. No registration needed—just show up. For more information, contact Rhonda.


Students

High school guys will meet on Sunday nights as part of Next Level student ministries. Contact Steve Garcia.

Note: If you are unable to attend one of these groups, or don’t feel comfortable, you may confidentially email our ministry or call our hotline at 330.315.5443 and leave a confidential message.
