The Most Excellent Way began in early 1986, in San Diego, CA as a small prayer group desiring to minister to alcoholics, drug addicts, and their families within the church. Today, regularly scheduled support meetings continue to spread across America, into Europe, Russia, Mexico and the Philippines.
The Most Excellent Way alternative to chemical dependency is becoming God-dependent. Our principles of recovery are based entirely upon God's Word, the Bible.
At First Baptist Church, Panama City, we are committed to helping those that want help with addiction. We have done our very best to create a safe, comfortable environment where people can feel accepted in spite of what they have done or where they have come from. Although our meetings and studies are described as support groups, they are much more than that. We strive to help people in every area of their lives so they can regain the life that addiction has taken over.
Most of our meetings and studies are led by people who not only feel your pain; they understand it because they have been there. Most importantly, there is One that understand your pain more than anyone else, His name is Jesus, and He is the one that can take it away. According to God's Word, the Bible, Jesus said, "He whom the Son sets free, shall be free indeed!"
Friend, most of us are all looking for the same thing, freedom. Jesus Christ offers to us the freedom from addiction that so many people are longing for. If you have attended one of our meetings, I want to say, Welcome! If you have not, may this simple pamphlet of information also serve as an invitation for us to show you "The Most Excellent Way."
