WHITE PLAINS, Ky. (KT) – Two churches in Hopkins County have embraced the “love your neighbor” commandment by offering programs aimed to help those battling addictions.
J.D. Holt, pastor of White Plains Missionary Baptist Church, said significant addiction problems in the county prompted the beginning of a Celebrate Recovery ministry about five years ago.
At that time, the church was down to single figures in Sunday night attendance. On a typical Sunday night, the church will now have approximately 50 in attendance.
