The blessing that Restoration Pointe provides is a safe place to deal with depression, isolation, lack of trust, and other mental health issues.
What we are.
A safe and loving place for those seeking to find support amid mental illness and other diagnosis. We willingly support mental health through Christ-centered restoration and recovery.
A safe place to confess our sins to one another. James 5:16 “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”
We can be complete through our union with Jesus Christ! Colossians 2:10
What we are not.
A place for judgment.
A replacement for counseling and therapy.
A place that gives up on HOPE!
The Problem
Fifty percent of all adults will experience some form of mental illness in their life. This can mean different things to different people. Ultimately, the list of the different types of disorders is too large for one informational sheet.
Many people have mental health concerns from time to time. But a mental health concern becomes a mental illness when ongoing signs and symptoms cause frequent stress and affect your ability to function.
Just like any other organ in our body, our brains are subject to malfunction from time to time.
In the same way that a heart, lung, or kidney can malfunction, our brains can malfunction.
This can lead to feelings of devastation, anger, or loneliness, for example.
Often the result is a feeling of isolation, loss of control, and hopelessness.
Frequently, in an attempt to ease these overwhelming emotions, people will use unhealthy coping skills. This can be through unhealthy relationships, at-risk behaviors, substance abuse, etc.
The Solution
Thankfully, through the loving grace of Jesus Christ we do not have to live under the assumption that we have no hope.
In 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
This tells us that when we are feeling weak, God steps in to fill the gap for us if We let Him.
MISSION:
To provide a place of refuge for restoration and healing for the suffering, where we will teach life-changing biblical truths, disciple and equip with the practical tools needed to be sent out to serve the Church and community, and live life successfully in Jesus Christ.
God gives us the ability to come out of the darkness that weighs so heavily on us.
We can feel what it is like to walk through life with hope for a better tomorrow.
We can start building relationships with others that are healthy.
We learn positive tools for coping with frustrations and then incorporate these tools into our lives.
Restoration Pointe is a haven of spiritual healing, a place that provides an environment to experience God, understand His plan and His purpose for your life.
People lacking the fear of God find their lives in a cycle of serving selfish desires, making wrong choices, and not having peace of mind or heart. Restoration Pointe is not a replacement for professional counseling, therapy, and medical treatment. We are here to support those efforts and encourage you as you use them.
People can and do get “stuck” in their lives. Christian counseling is strongly encouraged
Living with mental health issues can be difficult. There is no denying that fact.
But living with mental health issues does not have to be a lifelong sentence of misery.
You do have hope for a better tomorrow.
By living one day at a time, one moment at a time, you can find peace. (Serenity prayer)
You can live a life that is extraordinary.
