About Bible Baptist Church – Fairbanks
Bible Baptist Church Reformers Unanimous in Fairbanks, Alaska, is a faith based addiction treatment program that steers individuals back toward God. It also serves as a support system within the local church. They assist not just the person in treatment but also their families.
Participants gather every Friday at 7 p.m. to discuss their programs. This includes the Teens-n-Transition group for young people struggling with addiction. They think it’s a good idea to keep the younger participants apart from the adults so they won’t be exposed to specifics about issues that the adults might be handling.
There are three talks in their Friday night schedule. First they talk to God. Two methods are employed to achieve this. They start off by saying a prayer. Students are then given the chance to share their triumphant stories about how God has changed their lives. This serves to give encouragement to other students and give credit where credit is due.
The second conversation is between participants. Students are provided with an opportunity to share how their lives have been transformed by God. They hear accounts of people being healed by God’s intervention. They hear stories of triumphant days, weeks, months and years. Second, they divide into smaller support groups where they can share blessings and burdens with one another. A counsel leader is in charge of each group. Personal counseling is offered to those who require it. During this time students review their completed assignments and support one another on their path to recovery.
Thirdly, God speaks to them via the proclamation of his word. After their Friday night meeting they have their happy hour or fourth talk right away. It is a time for all students to socialize with one another in a laid back setting. Everyone present at the meeting receives dinner every Friday night.
