Why We Do It

21pathways has changed my perspective on God and the Bible. It helped me see the similarities and not the differences between myself and others. The struggles we face today are just steps to the journey God has put in our lives. Today I am grateful for the opportunity of life because I know God has a plan, I just have to trust it.

21pathways has been exactly what I needed to unite my recovery journey with my walk with Jesus. It provides such a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where I feel safe, and every meeting leaves me feeling uplifted. Their commitment to serving the community and being a true example of Christ’s love has made a profound impact on countless lives, including mine. I absolutely love it!
