ABOUT
Jimmie founded Recovery INX Ministries (March 2022) as a result of his participation in Christ-Centered 12-step recovery groups, working with Taking Anger Seriously Prison Ministries, and mission work at Sober Residence at Willow Brook Ranch.
Step 12 of the recovery program challenges us to carry the message to the sick and suffering. This message is both the recovery program and the Gospel. The Great Commission directs us "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," (Matthew 28:19). We celebrated our first Baptism at the Sober Residence on April 23, 2022.
Recovery INX is dedicated to serving these men and women who are seeking a Godly approach to overcoming the trials and tribulations of life. Whatever the hurt, habit, or hang-up, the answer is In Christ (INX). Brennan Manning proposed in his book The Ragamuffin Gospel “The church is not a museum for saints but a hospital for sinners.” Recovery INX Ministries is designed to be the M.A.S.H. (Mobile Agape Spiritual Hope-center) unit of the church by bringing Hope and Healing into the community.
The Recovery INX Store was created to provide a funding mechanism to help support the ministry. Recovery INX is in reality a domestic mission and discipleship program. You can support our ministry by purchasing products HERE.

Doctrinal Beliefs
Purpose of an Essential Doctrinal Statement
Our mission is to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord. We recognize that within Christianity there are genuine and sincere believers who have differing views on various doctrines. There is a unifying body of essential beliefs that virtually all Christians accept.
God
We believe in one God, maker of heaven and earth, and eternally existent as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The three have distinct personalities, and yet are of the same substance, one God.(Gen.1:1;John 10:30;John 4:24;Deut.6:4;Matt.28:19;2 Cor.13:14)
Jesus
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ. We believe He is the manifestation of God in the flesh. We believe He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe in His sinless life and in His miracles. He is true God and true man. His death on the cross was substitutionary for mankind and paid for the sins of the world. He bodily rose from the grave, He ascended into heaven, and He will return to the earth in power and glory.(John 1:1,14,18;5:18;Heb.1:1-9,5:8,1 John 5:20;1 Tim.2:5;1 Cor.15:1-5)
Holy Spirit
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit, that His present work is to reveal Jesus Christ to people, to convict of sin, and to regenerate those who believe. We believe He permanently indwells believers, that He guides, instructs, comforts, and empowers believers for godly living and service.(Mat.28:19;John 3:3-7;Acts 1:8;Titus 3:5;1 Cor.6:19;Rom.8:9;1 Cor.2:12,12:13;2 Cor. 1;Eph.4:30;Col.3:14)
The Word
We believe the Bible, composed of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is God's inspired and infallible Word. It is inerrant in the original manuscripts, and is the authority for conduct, belief, and practice.(2 Tim.3:16;2 Peter 1:21)
Salvation
We believe people may be saved from the wrath of God, be forgiven of sin, be justified by the righteousness of Jesus Christ, and be reconciled to God through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This salvation is a free, permanent gift to all who believe.(Acts 4:12;16:31;1 Cor.15:1-4; Rom.4:4-5;5:1;8:28-29;John 3:16;Eph.2:8-9)
Baptism
Baptism is an act of obedience to the Lord's Command, an outward testimony of a person's belief in Christ, expresses our union with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and is a basic requirement for local church membership. Immersion is the mode of baptism set forth in Scripture.(Matt.28:19-20;Acts 2:41;10:47,48)
