Welcome to RSA Ministries

RSA Ministries is a fellowship of men and women who have struggled with compulsive sexual behaviors, and of those who love them, and who share their experience, strength, and hope for recovery from compulsive sexual behaviors through the Christ. We are a community of believers who have found that our common struggle is God’s opportunity. Each day we work at allowing God to transform our lives by the renewal of our minds.

We are a 12 Step program, and our members meet both face-to-face in our live meetings, and online in our forums and chat rooms. If you have struggled with compulsive sexual behaviors, or love someone who does, then you are in the right place! Come and join us

RSA FAQ

Q:  I am looking for a face-to-face meeting, and can’t find any listed in the RSA Meeting Directory in my area. What do I do?
A: Several other Christian recovery ministries have in person meetings. They may not be twelve step programs, but they will be helpful. Check out the listing of other important resources on our Important Links page. Have you considered starting an RSA Meeting yourself? Read our FAQ on starting a meeting.
Q:  I would like to start a meeting in my area. How do I proceed?
A: To start an RSA participation meeting, all you really need are at least two people who want to get sober, the RSA Start-up Kit, and a place to meet. The Start-up Kit contains all the materials we use in our participation meeting format (The Problem, The Solution, What is Sobriety?, Participation Guidelines, and the Leader’s Guide). The Kit is available for a small donation online in our store. A downloadable version is available, or you can order a hard-copy kit to be sent by mail. We also provide support for those individuals starting up a meeting. One of our Meeting Mentors will help guide you through the process via telephone and/or email. If you are working to set the meeting up through a church, we are happy to communicate with the church’s administrative or pastoral staff to facilitate the answering of any questions they may have. Order your Start-up Kit and then contact us by email at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
Q:  What is a "Meeting Mentor"
A: A "Meeting Mentor" is simply a volunteer with at least one year of RSA sobriety who serves as a mentor for someone who is starting an RSA meeting without at least a year of sobriety of their own. Facilitating a meeting can sometimes be challenging and it can be helpful to draw upon the wisdom of experience. The Meeting Mentor provides encouragement, support, direction, guidance and prayer coverage for the facilitator. The Mentor helps to identify and activate various resources to meet the needs of the meeting.
Q:  How can I support RSA Ministries?
A: RSA Ministries is a not for profit organization (501c3) and donations of cash or property are tax deductible. We are able to accept donations online via our “Donate Now” link. Donations of vehicles and property are accepted as well. If you have property you wish to donate, please contact our offices by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , or by snail-mail at our office. Donations by check should be sent directly to our office (see address below).
Q:  What is a sponsor?
A: A sponsor is someone with at least a year of sobriety gained through twelve step program work of their own, who commits to being available to guide you through your own twelve step work.
Q:  What is an accountability partner?
A: An accountability partner is someone who is similar to you in their recovery journey. They provide mutual accountability, prayer support, and commit to being available for those important contacts when temptation is strong. See our list of “Top Ten Questions to Ask Your Accountability Partner.”

How It Works

As a fellowship of recovering people we strive to make our website an online community where people can safely connect with other recovering people and share of their strength, hope, and love.  We ask that you register with us to access the full range of services and information that we have available inside.  This helps to provide a controlled access to minimize the damage that hackers and spammers seek to achieve on sites like ours.  Please register using the controls to the left of the window.  All that is required is that you be an adult over 18 years of age, register using a valid email address, and agree to abide by our User Agreement.  We encourage everyone to practice anonymity so please choose a username that is not your real name.  No duplicate user names are allowed, and an email address can only be registered for one user.  

Once you are registered you will find access to our online recovery community including bulletin boards for posting messages and discussion threads with other members, live chat rooms for recovery meetings (coming soon), our directory of meetings, our online store with recovery program materials , books, and other resources available (under construction, but coming soon!).  

As our website was crashed by hackers last year we are still in the process of rebuilding.  Our online forums will be available by end of November 2011, and our online chat meetings by end of December.  Also, starting in January of 2012 we are planning to launch a YouTube channel with short videos covering various topics related to recovery, sobriety, and sobriety maintenance.  

Please register today and join our growing online community of recovering believers.

 

New and Improved!

Due to cyber attacks we have had to completely rebuild our online community.  Unfortunately we lost all of our old Forums and threads, so we are starting fresh and new here in 2012!  It is as if our community is starting all over again, but the rebuilding process has enabled us to make some much-needed improvements and changes in our website.  So start making new friends and help us build a new community today!
