The Victorious Overcomers Support Group is a non-denominational program. that believes you can live totally free from any form of addiction or compulsion through the power of God. This program is not based upon a religion but rather the reality of a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ-the true source of all our help.

The Victorious Overcomers Support Group was established in the East Massapequa area in 1996 under the direction of Dr. Patricia Rickenbacker and meets every Monday night. The staff teaches a powerful, life changing Seven Victory Step curriculum, which is based solely on God's word, the Bible.

The answer you have been looking for is right here. Unlike other programs, we focus only on the positive and never on the negative. True change can never occur by continuously re- living or trying to patch up the past.

Yes, it is possible! The only thing required of you is admittance to your problems and a desire to change. There is no fee required. We like to say the fee has been already paid in full. It is God who desires to provide for you- and a great opportunity for a promising future awaits you. Should you desire to choose it. Please contact us if you desire additional information, whether it be for yourself or someone else.

Meets Monday nights @8:00 PM, 900 Old Sunrise Highway, Massapequa, NY. Call 516-795-7221 for information.

Every Friday night when school is open, the thud, thud, thud of a basketball and the court chatter typical of adolescent and post adolescent males can be heard coming from the Edmund W. Miles Middle School in Amityville.

For several years now the Living Hope Fellowship Church has sponsored Open Gym for males 14 years and up. Young men who would otherwise not have a recreational outlet, play basketball from 7 pm to 10 pm. Some are members of the local school team--most are not on teams, others are parents and spectators. They come because they love the sport. The court opens with unified prayer by the young men after warm up. By the end of the evening, as many as 36 people pass through.

Grandma used to say "the devil finds work for idle hands to do". The Open Gym program provides something other than the streets and the mall for young people. In addition, spiritual values are fostered and encouraging words for success in school, college, and work are given by the coordinator. A nominal donation for the scholarship fund is accepted.
