Christ-Based Alcoholics Anonymous
Sobriety:
Freedom Begins With A Single Step
At the heart of our ministry is a passion to see individuals and families break free from the grip of addiction and discover a life of purpose, freedom, and fulfillment in Christ. This is the driving force behind Elevate Recovery (E.R.), a ministry of Elevate Church in Santa Clarita, CA.
Sobriety:
We believe in the Holy Trinity, God the Creator of heaven and earth, Jesus Christ the begotten Son of God our Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit the giver of life who proceeds from the Father and the Son. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
Our Approach
We integrate the traditional 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous and the Word of God. This approach addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of addiction, providing a comprehensive path to recovery.
Our Commitment
Our primary focus is helping others find recovery from their alcohol and drug addictions, guiding them toward a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Through this journey, individuals will:
1. Find freedom from addiction and its destructive patterns.
2. Experience the love and forgiveness of Christ.
3. Develop a stronger faith and spiritual foundation.
4. Cultivate a meaningful relationship with God and others.
5. Become equipped to serve and support others in their recovery journey.

Title 03
“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.”
“Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”
“Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.”
“Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.”
“Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.”
“We're entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.”
“Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”
“Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.”
“Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.”
“Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.”
“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”
“Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.”

My addiction started with Crystal Meth at the age of 13. I struggled with drugs and alcohol all throughout high-school. I found out I was going to be a father at the age of 19 and I decided to get clean. I maintained by sobriety until I was 21. I started drinking and doing drugs again, which led to an 11 year binge. A friend overdosed and I decided to get clean again at the age of 32. I found recovery and my life did get better, but I noticed my life began to decline again entering my 6th year of sobriety. I couldnt figure it out, I lacked purpose and started to go through depression. My life changed in January 2024 when I surrendered to God. Shortly after, I gave my life to Christ. I now have purpose and it brings joy into my life to be able to help others find recovery and their identity in Christ through our new ministy called Elevate Recovery!

At a very young age I was introduced to drugs & alcohol. I was 13 when I first smoked weed and as the years went by I kept experimenting with new things. I nearly lost my life after overdosing on drugs and flat lining for 5 minutes at a school field trip. I would’ve thought after almost dying this would stop me from doing drugs, but unfortunately it didn’t. I continued popping pills, drinking, and smoking, which became a lot easier to obtain as I got older. It wasn’t until this year I decided to fully surrender and give my life to Christ. The Lord peeled off the scales from my eyes as I was blinded by what the world. He saved me when I couldn’t find a way out. I pray through Elevate Recovery others may find Jesus and seek recovery through Him.

I developed an addiction to weed when I was in High School. I was curious, some friends were doing it so I wanted to see what it was like. I thought I would be able to control it, but I couldn’t. I hurt my family with pushing them away. Because of all the lies and anger I showed them, I lost their trust. I was also hurting myself physically, emotionally and spiritually. It wasn’t until April of 2022, I had three seizures in one day and it all was due to the drugs. I had an abnormality in my heart and I thought I was going to die. That experience made me open my eyes and it caused me stop smoking. We started going to Elevate church where I reconciled with God. Today I get to serve at our church. God has completely changed my perspective and I can honestly say I've been transformed. I’m happier than I have ever been and that it’s all thanks to God.

I was introduced to the taste of an altered experience with drugs at the age of 22 in October of 2020. What started out as a “one time” experience, slowly, but surely, began to consume who I was. Fast forward to late in the year of 2022, I sustained an injury. Leaving me with lots of free time, which lead to more abuse of the drug. My life as I knew it quickly started to spiral downhill face first towards rock bottom. Then, it ALL changed. I was extended an invitation to Elevate Church in September of 2024. By the mercy and grace of our Savior, I was delivered from my burdens. To me, Elevate Recovery is about sharing our testimonies with other souls in need of a breakthrough that I know I DESPERATELY needed.

I was always a free spirit that never cared about consequences. My addiction started small with alcohol and weed. I managed to not let it affect my job and my life so I didn't care to stop. Unexpectedly the harder drugs were forced on me and I ended up loving how it made me feel because it allowed me to escape life so I could avoid all problems. My life began to spiral and I knew that I didn't want to go down that path. At that time, I didnt even realize God was trying to save me by leading me to A.A. and to Elevate church. Our Lord saved me, now im blessed with a new path and outlook in Life. It brings me joy to call the people He placed into my life my friends and if we can save just one person through Elevate Recovery, it will make it all worth it.
