Pornography is a widespread issue that affects individuals and families within and outside the church. It can lead to feelings of shame, isolation, and hopelessness. It also negatively impacts relationships and mental health. While this topic is often surrounded by silence and stigma, the reality is that many in the church struggle with it – studies suggest as many as 70% of men and 40% of women within the church are involved with pornography.
We believe that bringing these struggles into the light is the first step toward freedom. The good news is that you don't have to struggle alone. Freedom is possible through community, accountability, and reliance on the healing power of God.
New Hope’s Care Ministry offers support for those who desire freedom from pornography. This ministry provides a safe and confidential space for you to receive support, find accountability, and connect with others who are on a similar journey.
12:1 Men exists to help men find freedom from pornography/sexual sin by walking together in honesty, accountability, and grace. Our mission is to create a safe, Christ-centered brotherhood where men, through the power of the Holy Spirit, can break free from sin and shame, renew their minds through God’s Word and pursue holiness and purity - all for the glory of God.
Who is invited: Any and all men who desire freedom, such as your sons, or friends and neighbors.
Group Name: “12:1 Men” is based on Romans 12:1 - “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - This is your true and proper worship.”
Are you ready to take your walk with Jesus to the next level?
Many men struggle in silence with habits they can’t break, thoughts or addictions they can’t control, or anger that wrecks their soul. If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels in your spiritual life, you aren’t alone—and you don’t have to stay there.
Starting June 4, join a community of men just like you for an 8-week journey through Recovering Redemption, a powerful video series by Matt Chandler. This isn’t just a class; it’s a place for honest discussion, mutual support, and a time to let God truly change your life from the inside out.
There is no "summer vacation" on the journey to becoming a Godly man. Join us and start the walk toward real freedom.
No pre-registration is required. You can sign up right at the door on the first night of the study.
