Re:generation connects people to Christ and his Church, where Jesus transforms lives through the power of the Holy Spirit, God’s Word, and his people.
350+ Churches and organizations offer Re:generation across the United States
Curriculum
Re:generation’s daily curriculum helps people experience freedom by abiding with Christ. It guides participants to confront sin, embrace their identity in Christ, and walk through biblical reconciliation. Scripture, prayer, and community are essential parts of the healing process.
Ministry Model
Re:generation small groups are gender-specific, mixed-issue groups. We work with your leadership to determine the best ministry implemention strategy to meet the needs of your organization.
Program Costs
There are no licensing fees to run Re:generation at your church—only the cost of workbooks. Most churches pass this cost on to participants, often adding a small amount to cover expenses like childcare.
What are the 12 Steps?
Re:generation’s 12-step discipleship program is designed to help individuals find healing, freedom, and new life through biblical principles. Each step is rooted in Scripture and focuses on spiritual transformation, not just behavior modification.
Steps 1-3
Admit, Believe, Trust
Participants admit their powerlessness, believe healing comes only through Jesus Christ, and trust their lives to God.
Steps 4-6
Inventory, Confess, Repent
Participants create an inventory of their lives, confess sin, and then walk in repentance.
Steps 7-9
Follow, Forgive, Amends
Participants discover how to walk in obedience to God’s Word in all areas of life, forgive others, and make amends.
Steps 10-12
Continue, Intimacy, Regenerate
Participants establish daily habits to continue walking with God, growing in intimacy with him, and experiencing daily regeneration in Christ.
Re:generation has impacted our church body to care for the needs of our community by helping participants focus on being responsible for their individual choices, leading to healthy changes that are sustained by a daily walk with Christ.”
Leslie Gregory, Central Pastor of Recovery Groups
Lakepointe Church in Rockwall, TX
When we started Re:generation in 2021, we thought we were just reacting to meeting the needs of brokenness in our community. What we didn't know was how deeply the healing and freedom from Re:generation would flow through every part of our church and community."
Jim Johnston, Pastor of Care and Counsel
The Bridge Fellowship in Lebanon, TN
What makes Re:generation Different?
Re:generation is much more than a traditional Christian recovery ministry. It is a ministry for anyone looking to remove obstacles in order to have a deeper fellowship with God. Everyone is welcome to come to Re:generation, regardless of the challenges they face.
Not just behavior change—participants learn to follow Jesus in every area of life through daily discipleship.
Ministry Launch Process
From preparation to launch, this process typically takes around 10-12 months.
Prepare for Change
This is where you’re in the process: research ministry options, align with your mission, and understand how implementing Re:generation affects other ministries, staff, resource needs, and availability. Once alignment is reached, you will sign a use agreement.
Establish Leadership through a Pilot Group
A pilot group allows ministry leaders to become familiar with the curriculum, while simultaneously establishing leaders and mentors before launching church wide.
Launch the Ministry at Your Church
Open Re:generation to your church using a ministry model that fits (seasonal or year-round). Publicize, redirect referrals for those seeking help, work on authenticity culture, and make your community aware of the resource.
