Your first year: A discipleship journey
Welcome to "Your First Year" with Sobriety to Church - He Leads Me.

Just as a Christian trade school prepares you, our program offers daily structure and support, helping you navigate your sobriety journey and grow in your faith. You are not just reading; you are being trained.

Month 2
END OF MONTH CELEBRATION
Instead of another exam...
I'd like Month Two to end with something different.
"My Church Family"
The student writes a letter to God answering questions like:
- What have I learned about Your family?
- Who encouraged me this month?
- How has my thinking changed?
- What ministry interests me?
- What friendships has God begun?
- What fears has God removed?
- Why do I know I belong?
That becomes a permanent part of their S2C Journal.
Building a life with Christ
Sobriety to Church - He Leads Me offers a unique discipleship pathway that begins with sobriety and steadily guides you into a life of walking with Christ. We use the memorable analogy of building a house, starting with the "undergarments" foundation and then constructing the "rooms." This framework provides a clear, actionable guide that you can carry with you long after the first month. Our structured approach ensures that by Month 12, you instinctively know what to expect and how to apply these principles to your life.
Support in every circumstance
No matter what challenges you face, in any circumstance, you can find the help you need here at Sobriety to Church - He Leads Me. Our year-long program is designed to provide continuous support, guidance, and community. We believe in empowering you through structured training and the shared journey of faith. If you are ready to commit to a transformative year of discipleship and growth, we are here to walk with you.
