✨Did you know? 📣

Every Thursday, the Rising Above team sets aside an hour to walk through our buildings and pray for our offices, participants, staff, second-stage residents, and every room in our territory.

We believe deeply in the healing power of prayer, how it strengthens our faith and ministry, and the HOPE it brings everyone we work with.

This is more than a recovery program; it is a prayer ministry for protection, transformation, and opportunities to share about Jesus. 💙

✨Rising Above Graduate Update ✨

Once in a while, we get a call or email from a graduate who longs to share their ongoing recovery journey updates with us. A few weeks back we received this highlight that we want to share with you:

“Things are good with my family again. I owe it to all of you at Rising Above. I'm currently doing a carpentry apprenticeship, and I like it a lot.” - 1 year graduate.

When participants come here for the first time, they say to themselves often: “I'm not going to make it, I'm going to fail”. HOPE beyond brokenness does mean graduation, it means a more full and restored life, one day at a time, after Rising Above and hope for the future beyond. 💙

📣Building Update - We are Making Room🚧

A bedroom is where we go to sleep, reflect, scream, and cry. This is where participants do all of those things while in the program.

This is what the bedrooms look like now. As time goes on, they will receive paint, flooring, and furniture. This is how participants can arrive, unfinished, needing to be filled. And as they progress through the program, they can find safety, rest, being filled with good things one day at a time. As we grow and seek God, we receive light, warmth, and HOPE. 💙

As we prepare rooms for more participants, we know Jesus is preparing rooms for each one of us: "I go and prepare a place for you," (John 14:2-3). He will fill these rooms with His presence, and bring healing and restoration to lives and families in Grande Prairie.

⭐Today, the Rising Above staff and board came together to discuss the vision and plans for the future of Rising Above.⭐

As growth is on the horizon, we were grateful for the opportunity to share, listen and learn about where God is leading us in 2026-2027. God is truly doing great things, and this time of connection and collaboration was deeply appreciated!🤝

Our Board members lead busy lives, and we are so thankful that they sit with staff as part of our team and invest in the future of Rising Above Grande Prairie.💙

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Deputy Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Evan Romanow, and our very own MLA Nolan Dyck to our facility.

They toured our new building, giving us the opportunity to share the growing need for a faith-based program like ours in the community.

We also discussed sustainable funding for the future expansion and growth, and what faith-based recovery programs and the Alberta Government can do together here in Grande Prairie.

We’re grateful for the time, conversation, and continued dialogue around mental health and addiction supports. 💙

Our Story

Rising Above started as a small men’s recovery center in 2007 in downtown Grande Prairie. Our focus at the time was on those who were facing chronic homelessness and addictions. Since the beginning, we have based our 6-Month Residential Treatment Program on our H.E.L.P.S model (Housing, Employment Readiness, Life-Skills, Personal Development, and Spiritual Formation). By using this model, countless people have embraced recovery and learned vital skills to help them integrate back into society and go on to lead happy and healthy lives.
