Our Mission
Overcomers
Outreach is a ministry that was born out of a deep need of a support system for
individuals and families within evangelical Christian churches. Overcomers
Outreach support groups use the Bible and the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous
to minister to individuals who are affected by alcohol, mind altering drugs,
sexual addiction, gambling, food and other compulsive behaviors or dependencies.
Family members are welcome at our meetings.
The message is based on the Bible and the ministry is motivated by the love
of God. Overcomers mission is to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the
hurting, and meet human needs in His name without discrimination. Overcomers
Outreach is a bridge between the church and the Traditional 12 Step programs.
Overcomers Outreach is a Bridge
Overcomers
Outreach provides a two-way BRIDGE between traditional 12-Step support groups
and people within churches of all denominations.
-
Individuals within the church who have kept their problems hidden or have
been reluctant to attend recovery groups in the community can come to
Christ-centered Overcomers Outreach groups and due to rule of anonymity,
they find a safe place to share.
-
Additionally, people within traditional 12-Step programs who are searching
for a "higher power" find Jesus Christ - the Savior they have been searching
for. This spiritual experience can pave the way for their return to the
church of their childhood.
O.O. Support Groups
Everyone is welcome at OO meetings
The support group participants,
whatever their need, find the extra care and encouragement necessary to grow
beyond the wounds of life's battles, the difficulties in family
relationships, the bondage of addictive habits and behaviors, and the
isolation caused by shame. OO meetings are filled with the faith, hope, and
love that only God can provide through Christ.
Overcomers Outreach support groups are sharing groups, not therapy
groups. Lay people facilitate the groups, and anyone who has been working a
12-Step recovery program for at least one year can lead an O.O. meeting. We
utilize the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous along with Scriptures. The groups
speak freely about our "higher power" in the person of Jesus Christ.
The group can evolve into a close family relationship where truth is shared, and
where God's power can freely heal the brokenness in our lives.
O.O. Networks Recovery!
OO meetings operate independent of the local
church but within the Body of Christ. OO recognizes and supports
participation in the recovery community. The meetings provide
Christ-centered, recovery support and fellowship for those whose quality of

-
codependency
-
addiction to drugs and alcohol
-
eating disorders

sexual addiction
-
pornography
-
gambling
-
addiction to spending & debt
