Equip your Church

Solve the No. 1 need in your church, affecting more members than any other concern. No Church is immune.

ANSWER THE MOST URGENT NEED

of peoples lives hurt by relationship and sexual brokenness

We give you the tools to talk to your congregation with loving care and concern, conveying a message of hope and help to anyone affected, when you introduce AVENUE for their needs.

77%

of Christian men view porn habitually, unable to break the pattern.

No. 1

Infidelity, including porn, is No. 1 cause of Christian divorces.

90%

of Churches need support to help their community with these life concerns.

Overwhelmed by it?

The enormity of these problems may weigh on you, and yet be overwhelming because of the perceived ramifications of helping people in it. Churches that fear disfavor or persecution have become silent, and have drastically pulled back from offering any resources for any sexual concerns, at the same time that the majority of Church member's lives are being dominated by and harmed dramatically by sexual concerns they want help to overcome.

It's important to know that our resources help ALL people that are seeking to be restored.

LEARN MORE

We understand how fearful and seemingly fraught with landmines it can feel to dive into this sensitive subject. But leaving it untouched is deteriminal to your church. We hear from church members just like yours daily - dying for their Church to provide help for their painful circumstance. You might not hear it because people don't come forward if they don't see a clear path of help being offered to them, and remain silent in their shame. They're left with living in their mess, or looking for help elsewhere.

But why should the Church bear the burden to help? Jesus as our model helped people at their point of pain, and it was never pretty, but He looked right to their need. Whether by disease or choice, their life was unmanageable, and they needed a loving hand to help and to heal. Most men say they look around and there’s no one to help them overcome their struggles. AVENUE helps you to do just as Jesus did, offering His healing for your people's deep urgent needs.

Individual counseling may be beneficial for some as a complement to our groups, but it is not enough. People need the power of the group community to make these kinds of life changes successful.

We make this challenging topic light for you

We help you - without burdening you or your staff

We know how new resources may create new workloads. That’s why when we built AVENUE we spoke with pastors first to solve this.

We do most of the lifting so you and your staff and volunteers don't have to.

You don't have to create your own groups, and still meet the needs.

Your best potential group leaders may already be available; willing men & women that have been thru AVENUE for their own needs.

AVENUE provides Live World Class Training, equipping your Leaders to oversee every aspect of this ministry!

Your church grows when you provide this desperately needed resource to your members and community!

We’d love to tell you more. If you are a Pastor or Church leader please contact us to know more about bringing AVENUE to your church.

"I pray every church open their arms to Avenue. I've known Clay and Susan for decades. They've been pioneers, helping, healing and setting the captives free from sex addiction, walking men through to restore sexual integrity, and women from betrayal, all across the country. I send my clients to them. A great program of biblically sound materials and among all the sexual recovery movement they've really mastered discipleship, accountability and healing the brokenhearted."

Founder and President of AASAT - Dr. Doug Weiss

What church leaders say about AVENUE

"No one I know has a better grasp of a man's recovery needs and process than Avenue, and there is no ministry more needed among men of all churches today than Avenue. As I travel and speak to men at churches, I ask them to respond if they have a need for sexual purity. 60-90% of the room will stand. Give Avenue a chance with the men you influence."

Ron Pinkston-Pastor/District Supervisor FourSquare International, Danville CA

"Avenue was welcomed on our campus when we conducted a Special Study on Sexual Addiction. Nothing is breaking people apart more devastatingly than sexual issues in our society today. We must be equipped to deal with the brokenness that comes to people caught up in sexual addiction. Avenue is effective in doing just that."

Dr. Jack Hayford-Chancellor Kings College & Seminary, Van Nuys CA

"I am so thankful that God led me and Tom to your groups in San Diego when we lived there and that we could bring your program to Maryland. I can not believe we have been leading groups here for ten years now! We wouldn’t be married today except for God working through Avenue. It doesn’t matter what your credentials are if you don’t have the tools. Many therapists attend our groups for their own needs."

Marlene and Tom - Group Leaders Mountain Christian Church Joppa, Maryland

"I've worked with countless men suffering with anger and addiction to pornography. It is a great relief to now refer many of these men to Avenue, where they will have their very best chance of healing and lasting change in a Christ-centered format. Avenue is a wonderful resource for any Pastor or Counselor."

Dennis McFadden - Marriage and Family Therapist Community Christian Counseling Pleasanton, CA Pastor of Counseling Ministries Shoreline Community Church Pacific Grove, CA

"Jesus loves to heal, bring restoration and make old dead things Beautifully New! I have seen GOD do this many times here in Women's Avenue! Jesus has breathed into the Avenue for Women material and used it as a Mighty tool to save my life! Celebrating 10 Years in Avenue and this material is new with every cycle! I am so thankful to Jesus and the loving kind wisdom of Susan Allen!

Tammy Panos - Group Leader The Father's House Vacaville CA

"There is nothing that comes close to the positive feedback I get from my clients about their development with Avenue. I endorse the Avenue healing programs wholeheartedly. In over 20 years as a therapist I have found a need to refer clients to specialized group work to make progress in their life and gain ground. The Avenue programs do this very thing in a Christ-centered environment without adding the guilt and shame many already struggle with. I appreciate that your materials are biblically centered and psychologically savvy. They are relevant, straightforward, uncompromising-offering hope to those who have felt awash and without hope."

Reverend Jeffrey Klippenes M.A. MFT Executive Director, Sequoyah Counseling Center Castro Valley, CA
