Lifelines and The Crossing Church, Costa Mesa - an
International Christian Recovery Coalition Participant
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we move through the 50 states pointing Christians and
those wanting God's help toward the wide variety of participants in
International Christian Recovery Coalition
(www.ChristianRecoveryCoalition.com), we will be discussing some premier
efforts being made to utilize faith-based (or faith-centered) 12 Step Recovery
help for alcoholics and addicts.
Next in line geographically is Lifelines and all of its corollary
activities with the Crossing Church in Costa Mesa, California. Randy Moraitis
is the Executive Recovery Pastor who puts it all together week in and week out.
I have spoken twice at their Lifelines event on Friday which
is a lively, effective presentation of Steps, Speakers, Anniversary
Celebrations, and breakouts into small groups. In addition, the church outreach
has grown into youth activities and a good many other service-oriented efforts.
Many of the Christian leaders we know and work with in Orange County and
elsewhere have been speakers at Lifelines, and there is widespread support from
nearby recovery facilities and churches.
Here is the location and phone of The Crossing Church: The
Crossing Church • 2115 Newport Blvd. • Costa Mesa, CA 92627 • 949.645.5050
There is lots I haven’t seen or done at The Crossing. But I
am aware of the outreach of their pastor, recovery pastor, Lifelines, homeless
ministry, street ministry, Care Ministry, feed the hungry work, counseling, and
sponsorship of church fellowships elsewhere – including Maui.
The best introduction and information can be found at the websites:
We much favor the intense fellowship and spiritual thrust of
those recovery organizations which contain some or all of the strengths of the
First Century Christians and of the Old School Akron A.A. Christian Fellowship,
as well as the early Cleveland A.A. program.
God Bless, Dick B., Executive Director, International
Christian Recovery Coalition, dickb@dckb.com
