purity

welcome. through this page, you will find several resources for men, wives, women, teens, family members and victims of sexual addiction.

Some people are astonished that the church is talking about sex openly and honestly. But we must talk about it! Our world is awash in sex, using it to sell everything from cars to herbal shampoo. I’m sure you’ve seen the commercials. Our culture bombards our kids with sexual messages almost from birth and the church continues to have scandal after scandal in sexually related issues.
The church’s message has to be more than, “NO!” It has to be a resounding, “Yes…Yes…Yes!” Yes to the passion and purity that God has called us to! Yes to a sex life as a husband and wife that fulfills you to the deepest dimensions of your soul, where the holiest room in your house becomes the bedroom! Yes to helping teens and singles walk with such passionate purity that it would make a lost world jealous!
For such a time as this we desperately need to understand what it means to be a Sexy Christian. We need to be living in the sense of sexual fulfillment and maturity God designed us to experience as husband and wife because the world’s alternatives have become so deadly. And so many people are looking for answers and healing in one of the deepest areas of their lives – their sexuality. Our world is wide open to Christ’s design for sexuality but we need to live out the message without shame or hesitancy.

if you or someone you know is struggling

with a sexual behavior issue, there is a way out! This site will give your resources that provide practical answers that deal not only with the personal shame of the struggle, but the family systems that fuel the issues. Check out these resources.

If you have any questions or would like to talk to someone, please call our Celebrate Recovery line at 382-7504 ext. 350. Also you are invited to drop in at any of our Celebrate Recovery meetings held every Thursday at 7 pm in the Family Room here at Westside.

For young people and college age. “Every day, as you walk your campus and go to class, you pass reflections of who you once were without Christ: men and women who unknowingly buy into the same lies about love, sex, and relationships that once held you prisoner, and disabled you from being able to connect authentically with God and others. I believe that your generation is destined to lead a new revolution whose members reject the false messages of our sex-saturated media, music, and culture.” Michael Leahy-Director.
