... is a fellowship of men and women who
share their experience, strength and hope in overcoming things that
hurt us.
We believe that as we look to a loving God for help, and
put into practice those principles for living which He
has given us in His Word, we will find both the strength
and freedom we need to live productive and happy lives.
We strongly believe that our "higher power" is Jesus
Christ.
We
practice the suggested 12 step recovery program, because
we believe these to be the practical application of the
life changing principles which are so clearly set forth
in the scriptures.
We
welcome anyone who has a desire to rise above the pain
and turmoil brought into their lives by the things that
hurt us, anyone who is not opposed to our general method
of recovery. We are here to share our experience,
strength, and hope with one another. The loving support
and genuine caring of fellow members, coupled with daily
prayer and the reading of scripture, prepares us to
experience total serenity in Christ, no matter what our
outward circumstances might be.

What happens at the
meetings?
If you've ever attended a 12-step meeting,
you will feel at home in an Overcomers meeting. The format is
the same. The sharing is the same. The only differences are
two - 1) We boldly claim that our higher power is Jesus Christ. 2)
The people who attend our meetings aren't all seeking recovery from
the same addiction.
Who attends?
Overcomers is open to anyone who is hurting from things that are out
of their control. That means anyone suffering from an
addiction, depression, difficult family situations...
Do I have to
speak?
No! As at any 12-step meeting you
are welcome to come, listen and share through other's experience,
strength and hope.
Can I
attend if I don't have an addiction?
Yes! All are welcome. We
believe that at one time or another everyone suffers from things
that hurt us that are out of our control. Overcomers is meant
to provide support and understanding for everyone.
