"Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. His Atonement makes eternal life a possibility and immortality a reality for all."
- President Russell M. Nelson
"And moreover, I say unto you, that there shall be no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, only in and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent."
- Mosiah 3:17
Healing Through the Saviour
Addiction Recovery Program (ARP)
The ARP is for people 18+ who are challenged by any of the following behaviours: substance use such as alcohol, drugs, tobacco, tea or coffee, gambling, viewing pornography, lust, inappropriate sexual behaviors, video gaming, excessive technology use, unhealthy eating habits, and more.
The program helps individuals better understand and use the atonement of Jesus Christ to prevent or recover from addictive and compulsive behaviours. Help is also available for people supporting loved-ones being challenged by such activities.
No referral is necessary; anonymity and confidentiality are maintained. The only requirement is a desire to stop harmful behaviours and find peace with new strength.

"The Lord’s way is the only way for us to experience enduring happiness."
- President Russell M. Nelson
"And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God."
- Mosiah 2:41
Thank you for attending.
“And they were all one church, yea, even the church of God; and they were also one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God.”
