Second Chance Ministries

Second Chance is a program designed to help meet the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs of the whole individual. We welcome every opportunity to work with health care and legal professionals in seeing the full rehabilitation of those with addictive problems. Solid Biblical principals that aid in everyday practical living are strongly emphasized within the program.

We feel that a sense of care, concern, sharing, direction and mutual support within a family-like environment strengthen the individual. Second Chance is a ministry of Calvary Chapel Downey in Southern California.

Our goal is to give you the spiritual tools, to mend, equip and to get you ready to lead a fuller life through fellowship with Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. This is done through the teaching of God’s word with discipleship as our ultimate goal.

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16

It is God’s way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do. 2 Timothy 3:17

We Believe In God’s Word and through His Word we are healed and delivered from the sin that destroys us. We believe in accountability and therefore our groups are not only for support but also accountability. We believe in praising God, therefore we worship God in spirit and in truth. God is reaching out through His Word and through the help of other people who have been where you are now.
