Recovery Point Ministry

“Form 990-EZ, Part III - Primary Exempt PurposeRecovery Point Ministry (RPM) exists to provide effective recovery for women dealing with destructive addictions and behaviors by addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of their life through biblical teaching, instruction, and mentoring. RPM believes there are three areas where women need support in order to achieve effective, successful, and long lasting recovery results. First, RPM believes effective recovery begins by meeting the physical needs of the individual. These needs are met by providing a safe place for shelter and security from their previous environements. Each woman is provided a warm, clean, and safe place in our home, where they can concentrate on their recovery. We provide them with food, clothing, and medical attention, if applicable. No one is turned away becaus of lack of money. Most of our clients never pay anything. Our Clients are taught financial life skills, such as biblical stewardship and preparing budgets. They are taught to eat properly and excerise through life skills classes, such as cooking, diet, nutrition, and the important of establishing a healthy routine. Second, RPM believes effective recovery continues by meeting the emotional needs of women, which brings healing and hope. RPM meets these need through professional counciling, emotional support, training in self-esteem and self confidence. We also, strive to help meet the emotional needs of the families by instructing from a biblical perspective on restoring and reconciling broken relationships. Through different studies, we hope women will learn how to build and grow relationships with family and loved ones in a healthy way. We help build self-esteem and confidence by providing education and job training from local teachers, community college, and life skills courses on the job training such as: resume' building, dress for success, typing, computer training, interviewing techniques, etc.Third, RPM believes effective recovery is not complete until you address the spiritual needs of the individual. We meet these needs through teaching, instruction, and mentoring from biblical studies and mentoring in forgiveness, faith, and focus in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Women will go to church and participate in small group studies on issues pertaining to the Holy Bible. As a result of investing and meeting the needs of women physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we hope women will be encouraged, imspired, and transformed to make a positive difference in their own lives, their families, and their community they live in.
