Recovery Worship came into being in 2003 to bring Christian spirituality to the recovery and 12-Step community.

We recognize that many in recovery have been estranged from, angry at or afraid of the traditional church. Therefore, Recovery Worship strives to be different and offer welcome, comfort, affirmation, hope, strength and healing.
