What it reported doing in 2025

As we reflect on 2025, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for all that God has done through Life Changing Recovery Ministries (LCRM). Your unwavering support, dedication, and faith have allowed us to continue serving our congregation and reaching out to those in need within our community. We are excited to share the many blessings and accomplishments that have taken place this year as we continue to fulfill our mission to bring hope, healing, and restoration to all. ** SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND CONGREGATIONAL CARE ** WEEKLY SERVICES AND OUTREACH: We continue to host our Sunday services at St. Vincent de Paul Chapel at 1345 Park Street in Clearwater, FL. Our partnership with St. Vincent De Paul is strengthened each quarter as our board makes monetary donations to support their mission and facility. BIBLE STUDY AND RECOVERY MINISTRY: Every Wednesday evening, we bring the Word of God and the hope of recovery to The Catchers Mitt, a local respite center for individuals struggling with substance use disorder, located at 316 S. Betty Lane, Clearwater, FL. This class has been met with tremendous enthusiasm and has helped bring many new members into our church family. Several of our pastors and deacons attend each week, providing a loving and supportive presence for those on their recovery journey. Every Saturday evening, we meet for intercessory prayer from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This has proven to be beneficial and spiritually uplifting to all who participate. Prayer is a vital part of our daily lives with Christ. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND SERVICE: In 2025, our very own Assistant Pastor Peggy Sue Willis took to the streets to feed the people in transition. She fed approximately 400 people with Pizza, and homemade lunches. TRANSPORTATION MINISTRY: In 2025, we continued to utilize our commercial passenger van which allows us to transport new and consistent members to Sunday services. Our pastors travel within a 25-mile radius every Sunday morning to pick up van loads of individuals from 5+ treatment centers spanning from Clearwater to St. Petersburg. This ministry ensures that those who do not have personal transportation can still experience the love and fellowship of our church. BENEVOLENCE AND COMPASSION FUND: Through our Benevolence Fund, we provided ongoing support to individuals and families requesting assistance. This year, we: Supplied food and basic needs for families in crisis. Purchased bicycles, shoes, and clothing for indigent members. Sponsored individuals enrolling in trade school, covering the costs of books and supplies to help them advance in their careers. Assisted members struggling with utility payments to prevent service interruptions. Connected multiple homeless individuals with treatment programs and housing, paying administrative fees and covering their initial weeks dues to secure safe and supportive housing. Assisted a member with funds to obtain his CDL license LITERATURE AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH: We also provided free Daily Bread Foundation literature to all who join us at Sunday services, empowering them to take their relationship with God and His Word to the next level. Our monetary contributions to the Daily Bread Foundation ensure that these valuable resources remain available to our congregation. ** SPECIAL EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS **RESURRECTION SERVICE AND HOLIDAY SUPPER: On Sunday, April 20, 2025, our congregation recognized the Easter season with our annual Resurrection Service and Holiday Supper, a cherished occasion where we honored the victory of Jesus resurrection. This special service was followed by a warm and welcoming supper provided entirely by the church and its devoted members. All who wished to join us were invited to participate in the food, fellowship, and joy of this sacred season, reflecting the spirit of love and inclusivity that defines our ministry.
