AFC Community Center
Life Recovery Group
No need to sign up...just show up! / Wednesday nights at 7pm
We believe everyone can benefit from a Life Recovery experience. We all have struggles in life; struggles with addictions, food, depression, anxiety, and relationships to name a few. But we approach recovery from different angles. Some want a formal recovery meeting with a traditional recovery experience. Others want a recovery experience in a small informal group, or in an existing group they are already comfortable with at their church. And some may prefer learning about recovery at their own pace before jumping into a group or meeting experience. This is the beauty of Life Recovery. Unlike other Christian recovery approaches that mandate how and where their recovery ministry can be employed, Life Recovery brings Christian recovery to you – right where you’re at.
The Twelve Steps of Life Recovery are a set of biblical principles in addiction treatment that outline a course of action for tackling problems such as drug and alcohol addiction, overeating, sex addiction, and more. There are 12 Christian Foundations that Life Recovery is based on.

Because of a very generous gift from the Madison County Community Foundation, The Community Center @ AFC is able to help students in our community who, because of dangerous COVID levels, are being forced to start the new year with virtual classes. Each Thursday we are open from 10am-5pm to help students in our community have the tools they need to succeed. Computers are available, free wifi is available, printing is available, and everything is socially distanced for the safety of each student.
Construction of the new Community Center will soon begin, but something this important can’t wait. We are working together to make a difference…
