We’ve been doing this for over 20 years.

But the “glue” that keeps us together, is the organization we’re all members of.

Church?

I’m a Christian and have always been so thankful for the rich community and sense of shared values and mission I experience with my church.

No, Recovery fellowship. Similar.

Churches provide many of the same benefits. For most of my friends that attend churches, the congregation is more important to them, than the pastor.
