Everyone gets stuck. The same mistakes, the habit that won’t break, the feeling that everyone else has it together. Most of us just get better at pretending. Fresh Start is where the pretending stops: a table of ordinary people getting honest about their lives and finding a different way of living, together. We’ve found it in Jesus, but you don’t have to believe anything to come.
Fresh Start is a Christ-centered gathering where people are reconciled to God and to one another and transformed into the people God created them to be. Mondays at 6:30 pm. No sign-up. Come as you are.
We gather in the name of Jesus Christ,
a risen Savior who knows our names.
We tell the truth: we have a problem.
We admit we are broken; we cannot fix ourselves.
We believe our Father in heaven can.
So, we surrender; we give Him everything.
Through Jesus, the Father has made a way home.
We are reconciled to God, and we are being reconciled to one another.
We are not victims, and we are not our disease.
We are responsible people, rescued by grace,
And free by that grace to make new choices.
We wear no label but one: new creation.
We will not live in the past.
We name our struggles honestly, but they are not our identity.
The old has gone; the new has come.
We cannot walk this road alone, and we were never meant to.
We will walk in the power of the Spirit
and in the company of God's people.
We commit to stay the course:
We remain humble. We ask for help.
We examine, confess, connect, restore, and practice.
We exist to follow Jesus.
Here, no one is an outsider; we are all in recovery.
Our goal is not merely a struggle overcome,
but reconciliation: a Savior known and a life made new.
Brokenness is our hinge, not our home.
By God's grace, we can all have a Fresh Start.
Amen.
