Men’s and Women’s Sexual Recovery Groups

In-person groups in Philadelphia & South Jersey

Recovery Groups:

Have you experienced unwanted sexual behavior, such as viewing sexually explicit media, committing sexual infidelity, or any type of sexual addiction? Does it feel like your sexual behaviors hinder your intimacy with God? Despite your commitments to God and others, have you tried to stop your unwanted sexual behaviors with little success?

Philadelphia Renewal Network has partnered with Cru City to begin support groups in the city and region — for both men and women — to help you break free and experience the hope that change is possible. Though not "group therapy," these groups follow a successful model of recovery groups designed to cultivate honest communal support and accountability for those who struggle with unwanted sexual behavior.  Some participants may consider therapy in addition to these groups.
