Arise is a group of people who help both those struggling with addiction and their families. Some of us have lost family and friends in death caused by addiction; many of us have battled with addiction and we have struggled in the fight. Some members have tried and failed and tried again; we’ve lost friends, relationships, money, and homes. Our addictions left us in a pit we could not escape, and we cried out, in our helpless state, to the only one left listening-our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The King of Kings has rescued us out of the depths; He has given us new life, a reason to live and hope for the future.

Every Thursday evening at 7pm we meet in the Living Room (enter through Children's Ministry entrance) to look at recovery through the light of the Bible. There are groups for both those in recovery as well as their families. Child care is provided for ages 11 years and younger. Please call Aaron at 304.685.4434 if you need a ride.

The Arise group fully believes that the only cure for the sin of addiction is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Members have found freedom from a life of bondage to various forms of addictions through the study of God's Word, fellowship with His people, and prayer. Our mission is to share the freedom we have found in Christ with others suffering in addiction.

Join us for our Tree of Hope, Grace, and Remembrance Ceremony and Tree lighting.

Every year we remember those affected by addiction by placing colored ornaments on a beautiful blue spruce. Each ornament color represents a different stage in our journey with those we love:

Gold...For those in any stage of sobriety with the HOPE of a clean future

Blue...To know and understand God's GRACE & forgiveness, that as they move forward toward sobriety they can let go of their own guilt and shame

Purple...REMEMBRANCE for those who have passed on

You may register HERE to place an ornament on the tree or for someone to place it for you. There is no charge for the ornament.
