Revive & Restore Recovery Ministry
Revive & Restore Recovery Ministry at Cornerstone is a place of healing and hope for those coming out of the throes of addiction. We offer a safe place of love and acceptance no matter where you have been.
Our desire is to remove the shame and stigma of being involved in circumstances that sometimes are out of our control.

We also offer recovery small groups that go beyond drug and alcohol.
- Our meetings are held in the Loft at Cornerstone Ministries.
- Thursday evenings from 6:00 - 7:15 p.m. (doors open at 5:30).
- Free childcare is provided, please call ahead - 724-733-0070
- Come and join us.
Our purpose is to Revive those who are dead in their addiction and to Restore them to a life of Godliness by providing positive pathways of growth and encouragement.
We accomplish this through large and small group meetings that emphasize the power of God’s redeeming love which transforms a person into a new creation in Christ Jesus.
We utilize a twelve-step program. 
There are no prerequisites, only a desire to change and the admission that you are powerless to fight the addictions which ensnare you.
We welcome all and will walk together with you towards the goal of wholeness.
Blessings,
Don Walczak
Recovery Pastor.
This year, commit to leaving the old behind. Learn from it and grow from it, but leave it.
Doing so will make changes in your life and create space for growth that you never thought possible !
. . . Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong.

"Spiritual Journey Group"
The Spiritual Journey Group is a place to grow your Walk with God.
A group to study with and gain strength from God’s Word, then apply it to our lives.
You will learn from the messages shared from the Bible, video episodes, and personal
applications discussed.
We welcome everyone who has a heart eager to learn more of God, of His love
and direction for you.

"Codependency Support Group"
Codependency is a relationship imbalance where one person enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or underachievement. Among the core characteristics of codependency is an "excessive" reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity.
Codependents expend energy enabling, fixing, controlling, and obsessively rescuing another person and, in so doing, neglecting to care for themselves. Codependency is about normal behaviors taken too far.
In our support group, with God’s help, we learn how to “let go,” detach with love, set boundaries, and care for ourselves. In so doing, we learn how to lessen and eventually stop the emotional pain.

"Sexual Integrity Support Group for Men"
Today's world is full of roads that men could take that lead them down the path of sexual immorality.
This group encourages men to stay pure and Godly despite the temptations that abound.
Life skills and behaviors are discussed with a focus on change.
"If we are ever going to get free, we must first explore our makeup as men and why our sensual culture is so compelling to us in spite of our love for Christ. Only then will we be able to defend ourselves from sexual addiction".
Stephen Arterburn
I Survived My Drug Overdose. Here's What I Want You To Know.
Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
Reinhold Niebuhr
