INTEGRITY
We strive to not simply teach right principles but to embody them.

We are not controlled by addiction, but rather through Christ we find moderation in action, thought and feeling.
HOPE
We are driven by the hope that no one is too sick, too addicted, or too far gone to be changed by Christ’s power.
