Community Outreach

The members of Gordon Street Christian Church are striving to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community and beyond. One of the newest endeavors is supporting the work of the 9th Judicial District’s Recovery Court because of the church’s location in downtown Kinston and its proximity to the Lenoir County Health Department and the Lenoir County Courthouse.

Gordon Street Christian (DOC) has become a part of what the recovery court team calls a recovery hub.  A recovery hub is a place of easy access for the services one needs access to in order to be successful in recovery.  With the help of many, this dream is coming true in the creation of the Community Recovery Division and the Recovery Together ENC Center (RTENC).

The Community Recovery Division will be housed within the Lenoir County Health Department and will provide services also at the Greene County Health Department.  Substance use assessments and treatment will be able to be provided. 

Just across the street from the Lenoir County Health Department is the educational building of Gordon Street Christian Church on North Street.  GSCC is partnering with the Community Recovery Division for the use of this space to operate the RTENC Center which will include oversight of the 9th Judicial District’s Recovery Court program, peer support and recovery groups.  Lenoir Community College will provide employability skills through their Keys to Hope program.  The Lenoir, Greene and Jones County Re-entry Services through Lenoir Community College will also provide re-entry services at the RTENC Center.

This is an exciting time at Gordon Street Christian Church (DOC). We are proud to be a part of this endeavor as substance misuse can affect anybody.  What an opportunity for the citizens of our community to have these resources for themselves, their family members, and their friends who seek a life of recovery!
