As we are a faith-based, multi-service organization, the following resources
are provided at this location by ON-SITE PASTORS who are at your
service and committed to the betterment of our community:

Christ-Centered Resources
  • Prayer Requests - (Jam. 5:14-16)
  • Telephone - Call us and request prayer and we will pray over the phone
    with you.  There is no distance in prayer.

  • In-person - Walk in and request special prayer and we will anoint you
    with oil according to the Holy Bible and reach heaven on your behalf.

  • Biblical Research - (II Tim. 2:15)
  • Answers - You may have a question regarding a situation that you are
    presently experiencing and want to know if the bible has an answer.  We
    will be happy to reveal that.

  • Scriptural Search - You may need to find a particular verse in the Bible.  
    We can help.

  • Spiritual Warfare - (Mk. 16:17-18)
  • Set You Free - If you lost your joy, or are spiritually weak and overcome
    by spiritual wickedness, bound by Satan or can't break free from
    troubling thoughts, let us help you take authority over the spirit of
    darkness in the Name of Jesus.    
  • Clean House - You may no longer feel the presence of God in your home
    due to disobedience, backsliding, lack of church attendance, bible study,
    prayer or allowing the adversary to gain access by declining into a
    worldly lifestyle.  We can help you.

Faith-Based Substance Abuse Resources
  • Counseling - As pastors, we have many years of experience in this field,
    including directorships in residential substance abuse centers for men and
    women.  Our methodology is neither behavioral therapy (such as cognitive
    therapy, or psychotherapy), medications, nor their combination.  While therapies
    offer people strategies for coping with their drug cravings, teach them ways to
    avoid drugs and prevent relapse, and help them deal with relapse if it occurs, the
    GRFOC program addresses the practical, physical and spiritual aspects of
    addiction as WE TARGET THE SPIRITUAL MAN THROUGH AN
    INTRODUCTION OF JESUS CHRIST and bible-based truth which, if believed,
    effectively results in the transformation process.

  • Residential Treatment Referral Program - Until our own community faith-
    based residential treatment center is realized, we are presently referring clients
    (men, women and youth) in need of residential care to facilities with 90-DAY to
    ONE YEAR programs.  These facilities consist of Christian discipleship
    programs, residential treatment centers, transitional housing and (seriously
    mentally ill) SMI locations.  Let us help you find what facility will be best for
    you in obtaining the desired result.      

  • Non-Residential Treatment Program - (Classes Available Soon)

Emergency Needs
  • Domestic Violence Victims - Call or come see us immediately.  We will
    provide immediate help.

  • Special Services - Until we become a fully functioning office, if you are in need
    of food, clothing, beds or shelter, we will interview you and direct you to our
    resources for immediate help.  Provisions are dependent upon available inventory.
