Steps to Recovery Addiction ministry

Meeting Wednesdays

 in the Conference Room

          There is hardly a family that in some way has not been affected by some form of addictive behavior.  Addictive behaviors can attack anyone and will destroy a person, and their family, and friends.  But God can change a life, God wants to change a life and protect His people from the trap of addiction.  The church is called to help people recover and stay well. 

          This 12-step Bible study group meets Wednesdays ~ 7:00 pm at Akron Church of the Brethren, 613 Main Street, Akron.  All are welcome for open discussion concerning bad habits, hurts or addictions.  We know God is our solution!  If interested contact the church at 859-2156,  or akroncob@dejazzd.com
