About

ABOUT

The Recovery Church (Central Park United Methodist Church) is a Christian and reconciling community that is open to diverse concepts of spirituality accepting all who share a belief in the Christian values of trust, compassion, openness and service (learn more about Reconciling Communities).

Our welcoming community joins together at 9:30 AM each Sunday for a service is called “The Recovery of Hope”. We offer participants the opportunity to deepen their recovery experience and to find even more hope by developing a stronger relationship with God, as they understand God.

The Recovery Church is neither a typical church nor a twelve-step program. Although we draw from both traditions, we seek to embody the spirit of God without creating boundaries for its expression.

Our Symbol – The Jack Pine

The jackpine is the only pine cone that needs fire to begin the process of regeneration. The heat of the fire melts the pitch holding the seeds together. The seeds are scattered in all directions and settle in new soil. The jackpine is one of the first trees to take root and grow after a disastrous fire.

A symbol for all those in recovery; the seeds of our own healing take root in the rich soil of hope, forgiveness, acceptance and reconciliation.
