People are often unaware that they can live with a much deeper level of peace until they experience a deeper level of trust in Christ that they didn’t know was available. This is a life-changing experience that allows us to navigate the uncertainties in life with confidence and clarity knowing we are safe underneath the shelter of His wings (Psalm 91).Who Should Join?
Anyone with a desire to grow deeper in their faith.
People wanting to grow their relationship with God..

Ministry To Communities
Outreach strategy to impact the entire community

This often begins with individuals within the legal system and extends to their families within the community. Since life-controlling problems affect more than just one person or family, there is a strong need for ministry to the entire community. For more information on how to minister to your community or to schedule a training at your church, please email us at: d.schreck@livingfreerecovery.onmicrosoft.com or call 260-218-8299.

The God of the Universe is ready to transform our unforgiveness and empower us to live in freedom, His joy, and with the resilience of forgiveness.
In this group study, we will journey together on some tough and challenging roads, but we can persevere with full confidence that God will be at work in us, with us, and through us as He conforms us more and more into the image of His Son. We are filled with joy that God is at work in you and that you are about to experience more forgiveness in your life than you ever have before.
