Pete is a well rounded minister and someone who holds many roles without our church. As a Recovery Minister, Rev Pete leads a weekly Celebrate Life, Sunday Recovery worship service at a 6PM gathering. This 60-minute gathering is an opportunity to connect with others in recovery, share in the Traditions and Steps of the 12 Step Programs, and hear the message of Jesus’s unconditional love and acceptance for everyone. You will feel completely at home grabbing a coffee, sharing a pew with both bikers and business people as we all celebrate the journey of Life Recovery.

“As far as our meeting goes, we are proud to open our doors to everyone. People from all walks of life, all sexual orientations, all other faiths are welcome at the Life Recovery Service.”

It’s a non-denominational service. Following the Celebrate Life Recovery Gathering is always a time of conversation in our lounge. The last Sunday of the month is especially unique as a celebration of recovery birthdays (during the gathering). Enjoy Birthday Cake in the fellowship lounge.

Peter’s goal with the worship service is to make the Life Recovery Service a safe place for everyone – from all walks of life, all lifestyles, all faiths – to come and learn about God’s unconditional love and acceptance for everyone. Come for the music – stay for the message. Hugs are an additional benefit.
