What is The Meeting Place?
We are a Grace and Love based 12 Step Recovery Speaker/Discussion Meeting, Community Outreach, and 12 Step Program.
We respect and encourage membership and active participation in all 12 Step Recovery Programs and Fellowships.
We believe in attraction rather than promotion or condemnation.
We believe in the importance of a spiritual foundation, spiritual growth, and a spiritual family.
We believe in carrying the message of the Truth and Love of God to others through personal testimony, the Bible, and Recovery Literature.
We believe that building a strong spiritual foundation through the 12 Step process with the support of a spiritual family can be the beginning of a solution to deadly spiritual disease and that spiritual growth through daily Recovery and Biblical practices, with the support of the spiritual family, is the key to sustainable health, joy, and contentment in all areas of our lives.
We believe that reading scripture from the Bible, in addition to our Recovery literature of choice, is a valuable aid to our Recovery if one is religious or not.
We know that the early pioneers of Recovery read from the Bible and that the steps are based on Biblical principles (specifically The book of James, Matthew, and 1 Corinthians 13).
Love, love, love. Based on the message of Jesus Christ in the Bible and in our Recovery Literature, Loving God, Learning to love ourselves as His kids, and engaging in loving service toward others is our tradition.

They serve children and families at the Stockton Peniel Neighborhood Center: Their first and foremost goal of their mission is to introduce inner-city kids to Jesus Christ. This ministry is accomplished through relationship-building and daily Bible clubs. Secondly they aim to teach biblical principles of faith, hope, and love, giving the children a stable foundation to build on for their future. This is accomplished through scripture memorization. Their third goal is to provide a safe haven for growth: spiritual, emotional, educational, social, and physical.
