Overcomers is a fellowship of men and women who have been affected either directly or indirectly by something destructive that is out of our control.  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.

     Our five-fold purpose, based directly upon the Word of God, is set forth as follows:

1. To provide fellowship and recovery.
2. To be and live reconciled to God and His family.
3. To gain a better understanding of our problems.
4. To be built up and strengthened in our faith in Christ.
5. To give dedicated service to others who are suffering as we once suffered.

Overcomers FAQ:

When do you meet?
Fridays at 6:30 PM

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 to everyone.

Where do you meet?
We meet in Class Room 12 at Central Fellowship.

1.5 Miles west of
Hwy. 287 and Hwy. 380

We Welcome You:

     We welcome anyone who has a desire to recover from their pain.  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.  Attendance at additional 12 step groups is encouraged.  We are dedicated to the principles of anonymity and confidentiality.  We guard the anonymity and confidences of other members without compromise.  Nothing said in these discussions will leave this room in any form.  Gossip has no place among us.  We will share nothing said in this room with anybody outside this group.
     Our Common welfare must come first.  There is only one autority in our group... Jesus Christ, as he expresses his love and healing among us.

The 12 Steps:

1. We admitted that we were powerless over what hurts us and that our lives have become unmanageable.
2. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. We admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. We made a list of all pwersons we had harmed and became willing to make ammends to them all.
9. We made direct ammends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our concious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
