Core Recovery Resources
Core Recovery is a style of church that focuses on our spiritual journey and relationship with God as the total focus and central aspect of our thinking. Although it was initially designed for those in recovery, the model has a much wider scope and is valid for a broader mix of people.
The resources found on this page are aimed at leaders wanting to run a pilgrimage. There is also a prayer book and creative ways to pray booklet available to download and print.
Printing advice: If you are wanting to print these documents as a booklet, be sure to click 'Booklet' in the printer settings, double sided and along the short edge. This will then rearrange the pages correctly for printing.
