Man In The Mirror
Addictions will rob you of the things that matter most. Often feelings of hopelessness and helplessness can make a man believe he can never overcome weakness. Ultimately, it is personal choice that determines life's outcomes. The goal of this group is to help men build lasting relationships with Jesus Christ and encourage God honoring choices. Man in the Mirror is a mentorship-based group rooted in biblical training, emphasizing personal accountability. Join us to start your journey of freedom and living life well.
