There’s new life stirring at Mark Twelve Recovery.

This week on the blog, we’re sharing two pieces of news close to our hearts: a brand-new Christian twelve-step meeting beginning Saturday, June 20, at the Montachusett Recovery Center in Leominster.

And an invitation to serve alongside us in a recovery Bible study that a local treatment center has asked us to lead.

“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together.” — Hebrews 10:24–25

Whether you’re walking your own road of recovery or feel called to walk it with someone else, there is a place for you here. Read the full update

Pastors can walk someone through grief, doubt, marital problems, and uncertainty.

Addiction is different. It’s a condition where pastoring alone may not be enough.

It calls for a credential that the pastor doesn't hold; A level of availability no one in full-time ministry can sustain.

What happens when a congregant finally finds the courage to say, "I need help," and there's no one to hand them to?

The answer changes when a trusted, faith-aligned referral is available for you. Someone willing to help who's equipped with:

- Real credentials
- Integrated faith
- An honest answer on cost
- Confidentiality that you can vouch for

For every pastor who has carried that worry without a good place to put it, this is for you:

Pastors don't need to be the only counselors for people struggling with addiction and alcohol misuse. Certified Christian recovery coaches can relieve some of their burden.
