I. BREAKING CHAINS OPENS ITS DOORS TO SERVE AS A TEMPORARY TO SEMI- PERMANENT LIVING FACILITY TO PEOPLE AND FAMILIES NEEDING A PLACE TO STAY FOR THE NIGHT OR FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THERE ARE THREE FAMILIES AND APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 TEENAGERS LIVING AT THE FACILITY ON A SEMI-PERMANENT BASIS. THE GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO MINISTER TO THOSE LIVING WITH US ON A MORE FOCUSED LEVEL AND LEAD THEM TOWARD INDEPENDENT LIVING.

BREAKING CHAINS OFFERS A FREE MEAL FOUR TIMES PER WEEK. MEALS ARE SERVED EVERY MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND FRIDAY AT 7 P.M. AND SUNDAY AFTER WORSHIP. MEALS ARE NOT ONLY A WAY TO FILL A PERSON'S STOMACH - IT ALSO PROVIDES A TIME OF FELLOWSHIP AND OPPORTUNITY TO MEET NEW PEOPLE AND ADDRESS NEEDS. THE MEAL NORMALLY CONSISTS OF BEANS AND RICE, SANDWICHES OR SOUP AND IS PREPARED BY THE RESIDENTS LIVING SEMI-PERMANENTLY IN THE MINISTRY FACILITY. III. THE KEY TO BREAKING CHAINS AND LIVING A LIFE OF PURPOSE IS A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST. THAT IS WHY WE OFFER WEEKLY OPPORTUNITIES TO HEAR FROM THE WORD OF GOD AND BE MINISTERED TO ON A GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. EACH SUNDAY, THE FRONT ROOM OF BREAKING CHAINS IS OPENED UP FOR A TIME OF WORSHIP. THE SERVICE FOR ADULTS INCLUDES SINGING, PRAYER, COMMUNION AND A SERMON. A SEPARATE CLASS IS HELD UPSTAIRS FOR CHILDREN. BIBLE STUDIES ARE ALSO HELD EACH WEEK TO DEVELOP CLOSER RELATIONSHIPS BY DIVING DEEPER INTO THE WORD OF GOD AND DISCUSSING WHAT IT MEANS FOR OUR EVERYDAY LIVES.
