Pain Loss, Fear, Identity

Everyone struggles with some type of hurt, habit or hang-up. For some it’s more serious than others. At least 20% of us, one person out of five, are dealing with an active addiction of some sort. Legal and illegal drugs, alcohol, gambling, eating disorders, sex, pornography, co-dependency, resentment, retail addiction, the list goes on and on. The problems and consequences associated with addictive and compulsive behavior are often devastating for the individual and their loved ones. Active addiction is a pathway that leads to spiritual and physical death.  

Addiction and compulsion is a spiritual disease

with physical, emotional, and mental outcomes.

The Recovery at Cokesbury Network is a Christ-centered, Bibically-grounded recovery program that’s based on the 12 steps and the proven principals of AA, NA and Al-Anon that restore lives.

We  do everything we can to provide help and support for those who struggle with addiction and compulsive behavior in its many forms. Without  training and proper resources, churches are challenged to provide a ministry that can address these issues.

Recovery At Cokesbury

Recovery at Cokesbury is a Christ-centered ministry for anyone seeking healing, hope, and freedom. Recovery isn't just about drugs and alcohol—it's about healing from the experiences, struggles, and patterns that keep us from living in the freedom God desires for us.  It's about finding healing from trauma, grief, loss, unhealthy patterns, relationship struggles, and life's difficult experiences. Whether you're facing your own challenges or supporting someone you love, you'll find a welcoming community.

God has demonstrated His work at Cokesbury Church in Knoxville as a site where He has fostered the development of a ministry to serve individuals and families who are dealing with addictive issues and emotional distress.

The majority of these people attend one of the open share groups that follow the service. God has restored hundreds of broken people to meaningful, productive, and joyful lives through this ministry.
