Even if you already are doing small groups, the Turning Point training is excellent in helping hurting people! Living Free, the training for establishing a Turning Point ministry in your church, is a very simple concept, not unlike a cell group or home fellowship in many ways. Yet, this training provides a model and curriculum for relationally focused discipleship in a small group. Living Free does not replace a home group or congregational celebration, but provides a unique small group setting for trust, affirmation, mutuality, and accountability.

I believe that Living Free will intensify your discipleship process and also give you an opportunity to provide an outreach to the world through Christ-centered small groups. Living Free is taught by a seminar, and I train others to teach it as well. The pastor’s counseling load will be greatly reduced when felt-needs are met through a caring, small group.

Our society really depends on small groups for support, especially our court system. So, as a faith-based community, we need to offer Christ-centered groups! The seminar is excellent training on helping people overcome life-controlling problems using the Living Free small group model. The training helps to eliminate many of the pitfalls of lay-lead groups.

Establishing a Turning Point ministry in your town is a vital part of laying the groundwork for the Lifeline Program.

Rev. Chris Wooley, director of missions and ministries at New Covenant Church in Paducah, credits Turning Point for helping churches understand how powerful Christ-based recovery can be. “Our heart was to do a Lifeline, but you’ve got to get it working in the churches first. If you can get pastors understanding it, working with their own people, you’ll build a base of support. We’ve now got 10 people who really know what Teen Challenge is all about,” said Wooley. “Now let's take it and get it started outside the church.”
