    The Big Picture
    Becoming an AVENUE Chapter
    At AVENUE, we are not just "booksellers". We are a comprehensive ministry committed to the restoration of those whose lives are being shortchanged by sexual compromise. We receive many inquiries from individuals seeking to find an AVENUE group in their area. We match up these inquiries by referring to our National Chapter Directory, and refer these men or women to established chapters in their community. We encourage everyone embarking on starting an AVENUE group to consider how they will expand the influence of their group within their community by being a Chapter. To become a Chapter is simple:

  2. Register your Group. Being a Chapter opens the doors to some great advantages: As an AVENUE Chapter your are part of our nationwide network. Your Chapter will be listed in our Chapter Directory which enables you to welcome men or women from within your community as new attendees. From the moment you register, we are here to serve you in your mission to start and keep your Chapter thriving. There is no cost to be an AVENUE Chapter.

  3. Join Our Training Meetings. Leaders will be mentored by a Coach who has personally run AVENUE groups for years. We provide vital support via our twice monthly “T.L.C.”, Teleconference Leadership Coaching. During these lively discussions, you will be in the company of both seasoned leaders and new leaders just like yourself, who join in these calls to continue to learn and stay connected. This is free of charge and available exclusively to group leaders of registered AVENUE Chapters.
