Everyone is welcome at OO meetings
The support group participants, whatever their need, find the extra care
and encouragement necessary to grow beyond the wounds of life's battles, the
difficulties in family relationships, the bondage of addictive habits and
behaviors, and the isolation caused by shame. OO meetings are filled with the
faith, hope, and love that only God can provide through Christ.
Who attends OO meetings?
- Church Members who need a safe place to share the truth about
their lives - their problems, struggles, and recovery needs.
- New Believers who still struggle with the consequences of sinful
behavior - forgiven, but not forgotten and looking for a path to a changed
life.
- Active 12 Step Members practicing the 11th step, and seeking
spiritual growth through Christ.
- Visitors who have yet to trust Christ and may not feel
comfortable in a formal worship service, yet they seek personal recovery in
the anonymous support group environment of OO meetings. Countless visitors
have come to OO meetings to seek recovery, and soon discovered the
power of Jesus Christ and the salvation He offers.
OO meetings operate independent of the local church
but within the Body of Christ. OO recognizes and supports participation
in the recovery community.
They provide Christ-centered, recovery support and fellowship for those
whose quality of life has suffered due to problems such as:
-
codependency
-
addiction to drugs and alcohol
-
eating disorders
-
sexual addiction
-
pornography
-
gambling
-
addiction to spending & debt
-
attention deficit disorder
OO is a unique Christian fellowship
that grew from one home Bible study in 1977 to an international network of support groups. The vision that God put in the hearts of Bob
and Pauline Bartosch, OO founders, has grown into an effective
Christ-centered fellowship that spans America coast to coast and
reaches around the world. |
