The conversation will be hosted by Rev. George A. Wood, a recovery activist and ordained pastor who has dedicated his life to equipping individuals and churches to walk alongside those struggling with addiction. Together, Mark Sanders and Rev. Wood will share practical ways churches can become certified recovery support congregations, launch faith-based ministries, and offer hope to families and individuals affected by addiction.
Throughout history, churches have played a pivotal role in healing and restoration, from the Oxford Group’s influence on Alcoholics Anonymous to modern-day recovery movements like Celebrate Recovery. In today’s crisis of addiction, our churches are more needed than ever.
Whether you are a pastor, lay leader, or simply someone who wants to learn more, this webinar will provide actionable steps to help your congregation be part of the solution. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how faith and recovery intersect in meaningful ways.
