Faith Leaders Conference
See the Faith Leaders Conference in the news!
The State of Ohio is losing eight people every day to accidental drug overdose. In Matthew 5:14, we are called to be “the light of the world” and for so many people and families struggling with the disease of addiction to heroin or other drugs, some within our own congregations, the church can and should be that light to recovery and healing. Join us as we share tools for churches to prevent substance use and support those who need healing.

Addiction, often called the “silent disease” because of the stigma society attaches to it, affects many families in congregations across our state. Parents who have children suffering from a substance abuse disorder or who have lost a child to drug or alcohol abuse will share the role the church could play in healing their family and others like theirs.
