About Us The Recovery Corner is a mutual vision of Grace Be Unto You Outreach Church. As you can see from our ministries our focus and passion is helping the incarcerated, the poor, the sick, and the lost. One of the ways we can help people is to show them the path to becoming closer to God. Many of us in this Church were once lost, hit our bottom, found our way to God, and allowed him to heal us. The 12 step program has Christian roots. Many don't realize that the founder of the 12 step program was healed of his addiction when he gave his live to Christ in absolute surrender. Our prayer is that this site will provide information and insight to help those that are in search of answers.
The Jonah Group got it's name because, many of us had to live in the belly of a big fish for three days, and be spit up on the beach, before we would turn to God in obedience.
Jonah 2:1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish’s belly.
Then come on out to the Jonah Group. The Jonah Group is a Christian based 12 step group whose purpose is to enter the process of becoming more like Christ and also to increase our fellowship with God. This group is a safe place to share, and look for the support of other members as we all walk this walk together. This group is to provide a path for hurting and/or addicted people to learn about Jesus Christ, and find the hope of a better life. The difference between The Jonah Group and many of the the numerous 12 step recovery groups that are out there, is that we claim Jesus Christ as our higher power, which was the basis of the first 12 step group.
The 12 steps are truly a biblical path to God.

Proverbs 23:29-35 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger over wine. Who go to sample bowls of missed wine. Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper. Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things. You will be like one sleeping on the high seas. Lying on top of the rigging. “They hit me” you will say, “but I’m not hurt They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”
2 Corinthians 7:1 Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
Grace Be Unto You Mission Statement Grace Be Unto You Outreach Church, is an outreach church, with a vision for the lost, as well as the saved. Our purpose is to reach out to the wounded, broken hearted, hopeless, etc. and introduce them to the saving grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. To encourage them with God’s word (the Bible) and his Love. We pray that they will grow to the full potential that God has placed within them. We desire to be a church after God’s own heart; to give Love, sacrificially and unselfishly. To reach out through evangelism, teaching and preaching, so that God’s people may claim the victory in their lives through Jesus Christ.
§ Grace Be Unto You History Grace Be Unto you Outreach Church began in the year 1989 in Pomona California as a Outreach Ministry. The outreach’s first mission was to a neighborhood called sin town, where Pastor Bill and a young minister named Terry Green evangelized to gang members. Our first membership started with a young teenage girl who was a part of that crowd and her parents soon followed. As Pastor Bill continued to evangelize he reached out to the homeless, the hungry and those addicted to drugs. In the year 1991 the Lord moved Pastor Bill and his family to Colorado (with his wife’s job, Focus On The Family) the ministry was left in the very capable hands of our spiritual covering, Pastor Derrickson On February 1, 1998 the Lord prompted Pastor Bill to “rekindle the fire” and begin ministry again here in Colorado Springs. Our first building was at Powers and Omaha, with Pastor Bill and his wife Diane as the first members. We had only one chair at the time, but God blessed us with 10 more from Pastor Ralph Kelly. We stayed in that facility for 2 years, until the Lord opened the door for us here on Barnes Rd. in the year 2000, where we’ve been working for the Lord every since. Pastor Bill ministered as Chaplain at Manna Ministries, he is also currently a volunteer chaplain for the Sheriff’s Dept in CJC and Metro Jail’s, volunteer Chaplain at Memorial Hospital and we currently feed and minister at the Red Cross Shelter. We also serve in a nursing home here in the springs. We have outreached to other churches within the community and encouraged them to serve in the Red Cross Shelter they are as follows, Pastor Larry Gadson, (Times of Refreshing Church), Pastor Ralph Kelly (Good News Church) and Pastor Calvin Johnson of (Solid Rock Church) , Pastor Bill would like to personally thank all of these Pastor’s and their members for their work in the harvest to feed, encourage and love those that are less fortunate. We at Grace Be Unto You Outreach Church are in our 9th year of ministry and we thank and praise God for anointing, strengthening and equipping this church body, to walk in the vision that God has called forth for this church. Thank you all for coming and please continue to keep us in prayer.
God Bless You, Pastor William Chancy |
