The MAT is a safe place to find recovery and to experience freedom and hope. If you’ve struggled with past hurts, addictions, or harmful habits, or if you need more freedom in any area, the MAT was created for you. Our goal is that you will feel love, support, and acceptance at the MAT, no matter where you find yourself along your journey. At the MAT you will encounter people who have been in similar struggles but have allowed God to walk them through His healing process. They want nothing more than to help you do the same. All MAT groups are safe and confidential.
