Christian 12 Step Group Code

We are committed to a Christ-centered approach to solving our common problems.  We believe the Twelve Steps are Biblical principals that have great value in recovery and spiritual growth. Those who regularly attend meetings and sincerely work the steps do recover and experience spiritual progress and emotional healing.

We uphold a covenant of confidentiality  As this needs to be a safe place, we  love and encourage one another.  Whatever is said in the group stays in the group.
 
We let others know who we are by being transparent about or own lives  Use "I" messages instead of "you" messages.
 
Don't Counsel or Give Advice  Only share where you can identify the same difficulty in your own life. Share from your own experience, strength and hope.
 
The Holy Spirit is the Leader  The group leader does not have the answers, he or she is simply a the facilitator.
 
We are not here to fix, control, argue or criticize  We only confront one another when necessary, and we make every effort to do so in a loving way and as the Lord leads.  We support and walk with one another; it is never appropriate to take up another's defense or offense.
 
No Spectators All members of a small group, whenever it meets, are to be participants in the process of becoming healthy. If you come to help others, but you can't see any problems that you need help with, then it would be best to disqualify yourself from the support group setting.
 
Therefore, let us all prayerfully agree that God's love, the grace of Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit will be in control of this meeting and all that takes place.
