Gospel Centered Recovery
GCR is a Jesus-centered, addiction recovery ministry that exists to encourage and walk with people who struggle under the weight of sin and addiction.
We believe in the sufficiency of Scripture and rely upon the Bible as the primary source for true addiction recovery. As we share the hope of the Gospel through the transforming power of the Bible, God’s Word, our desire is to lead people to a saving knowledge of Jesus and help them to grow and change for the glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Gospel Centered Recovery is a ministry of ABWE missionary David Newell, but GCR is more than just a ministry...
GCR is Dave's Story & Dave's Story is GCR:
God radically transformed Dave’s life at the age of 34 when he became a new creation in Christ Jesus. His prior life of sin, prison, and addiction passed away, and God gave him a burden for people enslaved in the sin of addiction. Dave is uniquely equipped and called to advise pastors and aid local churches to reach those lost in addiction through a Bible-based recovery ministry. Dave is currently serving in the Des Moines, Iowa, area with Living Waters Fellowship and working to establish GCR ministries throughout the state of Iowa. Current GCR Ministries are: GCR at the Door Of Faith (February, 2022), GCR South (September, 2023), GCR Biblical Relapse Prevention (August, 2024), GCR Leadership (January 2025), GCR one-on-one.
2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold new things have come.” (NASB)
Romans 12:1-2 “I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (NASB)
