Gerry Brown

Founder and President U-Turn For Christ - Gold Hill

Pastor Gerry Brown comes from a family of fifteen brothers and sisters, and is therefore family oriented. After many years of struggling with the sin of addiction, finding himself in divorce court with a Judge warning him that he was about to ruin his life, he agreed to do whatever his lovely wife Peggy wanted for him to get his family back. Peggy’s one requirement was for Gerry to attend church with her. Gerry agreed, not realizing God would get a hold of his heart and change his life forever. That was over twenty years ago. Today he is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Romoland and also the founder and President of U-Turn For Christ. His unique shoot-from-the-hip style of teaching gets right to the heart of the matter, and the meat of the Word. His powerfully unique style of delivering God’s Word will both challenge and encourage you to new levels of maturity in your walk with Jesus, as we draw from God’s design for living, and discover new insights to God’s “Truth and Love in Action”.

Investigating Sioux City Treatment Services
In 2010, Money Magazine ranked Sioux City, Iowa among the nation’s “100 Best Places to Live.” On the other hand, the Website Medical News Today ranks the community Number 14 among America’s “40 Drunkest Cities.” According to the report (based on research originally published on Daily Beast), the ranking was based on “average monthly alcohol consumption, highest levels of binge drinking, and where sizable percentages of people suffered serious health complications due to excessive drinking.”

The fact is that alcoholism not only destroys relationships and careers; it ultimately destroys brain cells and vital organs, particularly the liver.

Those who are struggling with alcohol owe it to themselves as well as those around them to seek recovery – and there are plenty of treatment options available in Sioux City.

Is Religion Necessary?

There are researchers who believe that all humans have a tendency toward addiction, and that virtually anyone, given the right circumstances, can become an addict. There are others who suggest that addiction is really an imperfect spiritual longing and that substances are used to fill that empty place in the addict’s life.

Tips on Entering a Rehab Program
