theeffect began its community deeply committed to recovery issues, working with people suffering from alcohol and drug addictions while bringing a spiritually-centered approach to their recovery programs. Adding elements of worship, spiritual mentoring, interventions, pastoral counseling, 12 Step programming, and a recovery helpline among others, theeffect works with individuals and those in local treatment centers and other facilities to bring the face of Jesus and his message of hope to those suffering from addiction and to their families.
We have specific gatherings and programs geared for the recovery community offered on a weekly or as needed basis through pastors and staff certified in drug and alcohol specialties and pastoral counseling.
