A New Life in Christ
Imagine a church where people break the bondage of sin in a gospel-centered community. Where we lift one another up instead of pointing fingers. Where we challenge one another to trust Jesus more instead of trusting our sin. Where we fight for one another in shared struggles. We believe re:generation is a wonderful ministry that can help us realize this vision.

re:gen FAQ
HOW DOES RE:GENERATION WORK?
Re:generation is a biblical 12-step process structured within the context of small groups. Your first couple of months will be spent in either a newcomers group (first week) or a groundwork group.
Once you have completed the groundwork curriculum, demonstrated a willingness to participate and decided that you want to move forward, you will be placed into a step-group to go through the 12 steps. Step-groups have a set number of participants and leaders. Once a step-group is launched, no new members will be added. For the next 8 to 10 months you will progress through the steps using daily curriculum along with other step-group members.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
The entire Re:Generation process takes about a year; newcomers and groundwork groups take about 2 months, step-groups take 8 to 10 months. The groundwork curriculum lessons take about 10 minutes per day while the step-group curriculum takes about 30 minutes per day. 30 minutes a day with God for one year working on your recovery will change your life.

WHAT DOES RE:GENERATION COST?
There is no charge to attend re:generation. Once you decide to start the curriculum, you will need to purchase books at different stages of the ministry (about every six weeks). There are a total of six books. Costs can vary slightly at locations. All of the books are $14, except for the Inventory Workbook which accompanies Step 4-6 and costs $9. Total cost is between $70-$85 for a year of curriculum with costs spread out through the year.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RE:GEN AND CELEBRATE RECOVERY?
The primary difference was a shift from Celebrate Recovery’s goal of “bringing sustainable recovery and healing to our hurts” to a deeper goal of developing “full devotion to Christ in all areas of life.” With this in mind, Nathan Graybill began developing Re:Generation in 2013. Intentionally designed to add more spiritual depth to promote spiritual formation.
CAN I COME IF I DON'T HAVE AN ADDICTION?
Yes. Re:generation is for everyone. Here, you’ll find people working through all different types of things. Here is a list of some of those things: loneliness, social anxiety, hatred of others, insecurity, body image, codependency, self-worth, fear, apathy, evil thoughts, abandonment, PTSD, resentment, pride, passivity, gossip, isolation, lying, and many more. God wants you to be free no matter what you’re struggling with!
IS CHILDCARE PROVIDED?
Yes! Childcare is provided for ages nursery-grade 5. Registration of your child is required and space is limited.
WHEN AND WHERE ARE MEETINGS?
We offer re:generation on Tuesday evenings 6:30pm at Fellowship Bible Church, beginning October 7th.
