The issues and impact of abuse, family violence and addictions are complex and far reaching into every community – both secular and religious. In churches throughout East Texas and America, there are men and women who struggle with these issues. Too many remain hidden behind fear and shame, with no opportunity to work through their struggles. Outside the church, there are many resources for those who struggle. Yet most of these resources are without a spiritual foundation of hope and strength for endurance. We believe this foundation is a personal, interactive relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We must be willing to be open and honest about our addictions; acknowledge our pain, problems and struggles, and learn what it means to truly heal and grow in community. We believe the road to healing and recovery must reach across each of these areas – leaving no gaps – in addressing the wounds and needs of the whole person. Healing from and growing beyond years of abuse or addiction takes time, patience and commitment. Bridging The Gap Ministries is “in it for the long haul”. We offer an ongoing healing community of support, encouragement and accountability in a relaxed and confidential setting. BTG’s Mission Bridge The Gap between religious and professional/ mental health communities in preventing and addressing the issues of abuse, addiction and family violence. Empower these individuals to break the cycles of abuse and addiction, and to equip them with tools to more effectively cope and deal with life and relationships.
