Celebrate Recovery

Who needs Celebrate Recovery? Anyone who has "had enough" of living under the burden of hurts, habits, and hang-ups and wants to experience the happiness described by Jesus in Matthew 5:5-12. Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered program to help people overcome their hurts, habits, and hang-ups. The format of the weekly meetings is praise and worship, fellowship, a message of testimony on one of the "Eight Recovery Principles," and small groups.

The "Eight Recovery Principles" are rooted in the teachings of Christ . By working and applying these scriptural principles, we begin to grow spiritually and become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to join in fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives. We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God's grace in solving the problems we all face.
