Two Year
Ministry Plan

Re:generation is an intensive 12-step discipleship process oriented around life change and hope through the application of God’s Word. Lives have been changed through re:gen at Grace Church since August 2016, and we are thrilled to see how it has grown over the past several years.

Currently, re:gen meets at our Pelham, Harrison Bridge, Spartanburg, Powdersville, and Downtown campuses with 450–500 people participating each week.

One third of re:gen participants are not connected with Grace Church, so this ministry offers a unique opportunity to “extend our front porch” and welcome people from the community to experience life-changing gospel truth in a loving, authentic Christ-centered community. While many believe that re:gen is only for those recovering from addiction, it is so much more. Most of our church body who have gone through re:gen have found freedom from less obvious, but no less oppressive, sin and idolatry such as fear of man, pride, anger, codependency, gossip, worry, the need for control, and more.

For years, both members of Grace church and individuals from our community have experienced life change through re:generation—a 12-step discipleship process oriented around life change and hope through the application of God’s Word.

In late 2020, we were excited to launch re:gen for Students with a small number of our high school students. Since then, the ministry has grown consistently, and more and more of our students are grappling with the difficult issues in their lives and experiencing positive life change. In this age of social media and constant access to information, teens face many weighty issues—pornography, anger, resistance to authority, substance abuse, anxiety, and more. We’ve been both challenged and encouraged by their willingness to confront their struggles honestly and be vulnerable in community.

While working through these issues has been hard, the rewards are already evident—both in the lives of participants and in their circles of influence. We are so thankful for our students, the leaders walking through this journey with them, and above all, a faithful God who offers hope and freedom through the gospel.

Exciting things are happening at Grace en Español, and one facet of their growth is the launch of re:generation. Those going through re:gen are among the first Spanish speaking participants ever to experience the curriculum, and we are very thankful to be working with Watermark Church in Dallas, TX to pilot the Spanish version of re:gen.

Over the past several years, we have offered re:generation—a 12-step discipleship process oriented around life change and hope through the application of God’s Word. The re:gen program has been a valuable tool, and we’ve seen many lives changed as participants have found freedom from sin and hope in the gospel.

Re:generation originated from Watermark Community Church in Dallas, Texas, and we were excited to be able to host their re:generation Regional Conference this month here at Grace. Nearly 200 people representing 28 churches from 13 different states attended the two-day conference.

Sessions covered several helpful topics: launching re:gen, managing group dynamics, building a re:gen culture, leadership development, and more. Both Watermark and Grace leaders were able to offer insight and experience to participants, and we are so thankful for the opportunity to connect with believers from around the region.

An important facet of our Care & Recovery ministry at Grace Church is re:generation. Re:generation is a 12-step discipleship process oriented around life change and hope through the application of God’s Word.

Over the past year, the isolation and disruption of the pandemic have had a significant negative impact on many who struggle with addiction. We have seen many who grapple with control, anger, pornography, and similar process addictions, as well as an increase in relapses to drug and alcohol addiction. We are so thankful that our re:gen ministry is in place to help those who are struggling in this way.

Re:gen has helped countless members of our church and community find help, support, and hope in Christ. We celebrate that this year alone, 130 people have graduated from the re:gen program. There are currently 360 participants and 30 mentors who are walking through this journey of hope and recovery.

We are also excited that re:gen is now available at our Pelham, Harrison Bridge, and Anderson campuses—we will also be launching soon in Powdersville! As you pray for this ministry, know that re:gen is not just for those struggling with addiction. It is for all who are broken and dealing with sin to find hope in the gospel—that is all of us.
