The Saturday meeting is open to anyone who would like to attend and learn something about how AA functions.  All the other meetings are for members only. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.  Each meeting lasts one hour.  The group that meets at JCPC is named "Primary Purpose Group of Alcoholics Anonymous."  The name refers to one of the traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous which states "…Our primary purpose is to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers".

Primary Purpose Group is self-supporting and does not accept outside contributions.  The Group pays rent to Johns Creek Presbyterian Church for its meeting facilities in trailer "B."  Our meetings are children friendly, enabling many of our single parent members to attend with their children.  We provide facilities in an adjacent room for their care.  Each meeting is non-smoking, although we provide an area for smoking outside.

Primary Purpose Group will provide guest speakers to other non AA related groups who wish to learn more about Alcoholics Anonymous.  Contact the JCPC church office for details.  The JCPC library contains a copy of the book "Alcoholics Anonymous" which is considered AA's "textbook".  Also there you will find a copy of "Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions" which covers the program of AA in more detail.
