A Recovery Ministry Built on Truth
Shepard & Stone is a non-denominational, Christ-centered addiction treatment ministry for men and women in Southern California, started by people who believe recovery should never be about the money.
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
A shepherd who seeks, a stone that holds
The shepherd is Christ, who goes after the one who is lost. The stone is the cornerstone everything is built on. Tender in how we care, immovable in what we stand on.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”
A ministry started in answer to an industry that lost its way
“They began with good intentions, but as they grew, they lost track of what matters.”
“This is his ministry. We are just stewards of Christ.”
“This is a ministry that will help people find peace. True peace. True love.”
Breaking chains, advancing biblical truth, calling to restore
Three phrases carry the whole ministry, and each one is a promise we intend to keep.
Breaking chains
Freedom from addiction is possible.
Advancing biblical truth
The founders’ message of truth, carried forward: gentle in how we say it, unmoving in what we believe.
Calling to restore
Restoring the person and the family.
What we will never do
Being Christ-centered isn’t a slogan. It means telling the truth about what we provide, and recognizing when someone needs a different level of care.
- Promise cures or guaranteed outcomes
- Require belief for care or for belonging
- Let faith replace medical, psychiatric or clinical care
- Claim a license, accreditation or service we don’t have yet
