Monday Nite Life
If you're looking for a safe place to share brokenness in groups, consider participating in Monday Nite Life. These Support Groups encourage growth, support, and healing
amid life's struggles. Our focus is in Jesus Christ, the one who was broken for us, so we may be healed.
Monday Nite Life currently offers Christian 12-Step, Marriage Matters, Divorce Recovery, and Grief Support. Our 12 Step recovery group meets Mondays throughout the year. Marriage Matters, Divorce Recovery, and Grief Support will start their next Session in the Fall.
For more information or to join one of these groups, please consult the information below or contact careforchicago@willowcreek.org.
Christian 12-Step
The Christian 12 Step takes the typical recovery program one step further by applying a biblical principle to each of the 12 steps. If you struggle with a compulsive behavior, this ministry provides a safe place for you to heal with others in similar situations. While this group identifies our higher power as Jesus Christ, it is not exclusive to Christians. Our church is committed to church the un-churched and our doors are open to call.
Be restored. God is pursuing you every second of every day. He wants to heal your deepest wounds and restore you to wholeness. The Christian 12-Step is one of His many tools to carry this out. He uses others' pain, stories and recovery from compulsive behaviors to help us build a relationship with Him as He heals us. Come away with a new perspective of who God is and can be in your life. He meets you right where you are.
The Christian 12-Step Program meets weekly on Monday evening at 7:00 at 1111 N. Wells Street. For more information, e-mail Bill Burns.
