Christian 12-Step Alternatives
The 12-step model pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous has helped millions worldwide. However, many Christians seek recovery programs that are explicitly centered on Jesus Christ rather than a generic 'higher power.'
The Mulligan Mission is not a 12-step program — we are a gospel-centered ministry. While we respect the 12-step tradition, we believe that naming Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (not just a 'higher power') provides the clearest path to freedom.
Other Christian alternatives include Celebrate Recovery, which adapts the 12 steps with explicit biblical principles; Reformers Unanimous; and various church-based recovery ministries across the country.
What sets The Mulligan Mission apart is our unique use of golf as a ministry platform — creating natural, non-clinical environments for fellowship, accountability, and gospel conversation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Christian alternatives to the 12-step program?
Christian alternatives include Celebrate Recovery, The Mulligan Mission's mentorship program, faith-based counseling, church recovery groups, and discipleship-based programs that replace 'Higher Power' with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Do Christian recovery programs work without the 12 steps?
Yes. Many Christians find lasting freedom through programs rooted in scripture, prayer, mentorship, and community — without following the traditional 12-step framework. The key is consistent support and spiritual growth.
