re:generation
re:generation is a biblical recovery and discipleship ministry for adults who want to find hope, address patterns that keep them stuck, and grow in a relationship with Jesus. You do not need to know the Bible or have everything figured out before asking questions.
Find Freedom. Experience Healing. Follow Christ.
Everyone has something. Anxiety that won’t quiet. Patterns you can’t seem to break. A past that still shapes your present. Habits, hurts, or struggles that leave you feeling stuck. You may have tried to manage it.
Ignore it.
Hide it.
But deep down you know something needs to change.
Re:generation is a place where real change begins.
Re:generation is a biblical recovery and discipleship ministry where people find freedom from the struggles that hold them back by walking through a Christ-centered process of transformation in authentic community.
What Is Re:generation?
Re:generation is a 12-step discipleship journey grounded in Scripture designed to help people experience healing, freedom, and new life in Christ. Through small groups, daily curriculum, prayer, and honest community, participants learn how to:
-
Understand the root issues behind destructive patterns
-
Experience God’s grace and forgiveness
-
Develop healthy spiritual rhythms
-
Repair broken relationships
-
Walk in lasting transformation
The goal is not simply behavior change.
The goal is a life increasingly devoted to Jesus Christ.
You Don’t Have to Have It All Together
Re:generation is for anyone who wants to experience freedom and growth.
People come to Re:generation for many reasons, including struggles with:
-
Anxiety or depression
-
Anger
-
Fear or control
-
Pornography or sexual struggles
-
Codependency
-
Past abuse or trauma
-
Eating disorders or body image struggles
-
Substance abuse
-
Obsessive thoughts
-
Relationship conflicts
Or simply the sense that something deeper needs to change.
You do not have to know the Bible.
You do not have to have everything figured out.
You just have to be willing to take the first step.
Re:generation is a safe place to ask questions, explore faith, and discover the peace that comes through a relationship with Christ.
How Re:generation Works
Re:generation is designed as a year-long journey of transformation.
Groundwork Phase (First 7–8 Weeks)
Participants begin in a newcomer or groundwork group where they:
-
Learn the foundation of biblical recovery
-
Build relationships in a safe environment
-
Begin daily reflection and spiritual growth
Step Groups (8–10 Months)
After groundwork, participants move into a step group where they:
-
Walk through the 12 biblical steps of transformation
-
Meet weekly with a consistent small group
-
Develop accountability and spiritual support
-
Practice daily discipleship through Scripture and prayer
The process involves daily time with God, typically 15–30 minutes a day, which becomes a powerful catalyst for real change.
What Makes Re:generation Different
Re:generation is not just a recovery program. It is discipleship through recovery. Key distinctives include:
Christ-Centered Transformation
Freedom comes through a growing relationship with Jesus, not simply through behavior management.
Daily Connection With God
Participants engage Scripture, prayer, and reflection every day as part of the process.
Authentic Community
Groups are separated by gender but not by struggle, focusing on the deeper heart issues we all share.
Real Spiritual Growth
Participants learn how to identify idols, practice repentance, pursue reconciliation, and live a spiritually healthy life.
When and where
The current group meets Thursdays, 6:30–8:30 p.m., in the Fellowship Hall (FH) at First Castroville, 1408 Alsace Ave., Castroville, TX 78009.
Before your first visit, email regen@fbccastroville.com to ask about the next opportunity to begin, where to meet, and what to expect. The current Church Center group is not accepting new members, but you can still contact the team with questions.
Your Story Isn’t Finished
You may feel stuck today.
But your story is not over.
God sees you.
God loves you.
God is able to restore what feels broken.
Re:generation is a place where people discover that freedom in Christ is possible.
And it often begins with a single step.
