About Us

The Victorious Overcomers Support Group is a nondenominational Christian program based on the Word of God. We do not label participants as drug addicts, alcoholics or unsuccessful persons having addictive behaviors, character defects or complete powerlessness. Such labels are negative and cancel any hope of change and freedom. The Bible says that "you are snared by the words of your mouth" and "as he thinks in his heart, so is he. " (Proverbs 6:2 and 23:7)

If a person confesses that he is an alcoholic or drug addict, then positive change will never occur. However, if a person calls himself by the name God calls him (a Victorious Overcomer), and sees himself as God sees him, then he allows God to bring change in his life. "Our God calls things that are not as if they were." (Romans 4:17)

A person acts in faith when he confesses that he is a Victorious Overcomer, a conqueror, and a brand new person in Christ. A person who is called a Victorious Overcomer is looking forward to the hope of deliverance and freedom from the addictions and compulsions.

The primary focus of the Victorious Overcomers Support Group is deliverance from chemical substances such as drugs and alcohol. However, the program will also be of benefit to those who desire freedom from the control of fear, anger, depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies, eating disorders, gambling, lust, pornography and any other type of negative, destructive habit or stronghold.

The Victorious Overcomers Support Group's definition of freedom from addictions and compulsions is structured on the Biblical principal of transformation, which is achievable only through a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The result will be the God-given ability to live a life apart from dominating addictions and compulsions.

"If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away and all things have become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

It is not the desire of this program to force this perspective on anyone but rather to offer a unique Biblical alternative to addiction and compulsion treatment that you may freely accept or reject. If you are open to this perspective, we welcome you to apply to the program.

Because the program is offered at no cost to you, and is supported in total by the gifts of Christian people, the following requirements are necessary. All applicants must voluntarily commit to the following prior to acceptance.Remain in the program until graduation (from 8-18 months).

• Make an honest effort to apply yourself and faithfully attend all meetings.
• Maintain a cooperative attitude.
• Receive counsel and constructive correction.
• Your reason for attending does not come from the courts, family members or any other outside source. It is completely your personal decision.

The Victorious Overcomers Support Group introduces the virtues of commitment, stability and discipline in the lives of its participants. With this positive attitude in place, Victorious Overcomers can then look forward with hope to a productive life of victory and success.

The program requires Victorious Overcomers to commit their attendance at the Support Group Meeting along with three additional meetings per week. Commitment schedules may be tailored to avoid employment conflicts.
