12-Step Recovery Programs
There are many reasons why people join a 12-step group. Often it is because they desire victory in one of these areas: past hurts, personal life, work, stress, family, parenting, or marriage. By applying biblical disciplines, we begin to grow. We begin to experience healing and victory in our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This victory becomes evident in our relationships with other people, God and ourselves. We have two groups available:

Men's 12-Step Group
Wednesdays | 6:45-7:45pm | Rm. E-210/211 | Facilitator: Shane Swann

Women's Celebrate Victory
For more information, contact the church office.

Christian Counseling Ministry
In addition to support groups, FBC offers one-to-one counseling with trained counselors (fee involved) or Pastors. Counseling may include individual or involved family members. Our counselors have graduated from a master's level counseling program and have a state license.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact the church office at (916) 685-4821 and tell them you would like to leave a message for our counselor, Mike Beckner. If it's after hours, you may reach the counselor's confidential voicemail box at ext. 347.
