WHAT IS CELEBRATE RECOVERY?
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery community helping one another celebrate freedom from all types of painful hurts, habits, & hangups. Celebrate Recovery utilizes the Biblical truth that we need each other in order to grow spiritually and emotionally.
Together we experience life-changing transformation as we learn to apply the Twelve Steps along with Bilbical comparison and Eight Recovery Priciples based on the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 5:3-10.
We learn to break free from our need to rely on our dysfunctional, compulsive, and unmanageable behaviors as a “fix” for our pain, and turn to Christ, our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
We all struggle! Anyone who desires a new way of managing life should consider attending Celebrate Recovery. Participants may include people who struggle with anger, codependency, overworking, various addictions, compulsive over/under eating, compulsive spending, and/or any other issue that keeps us from becoming the people we are called to be.
HOW ARE MEETINGS STRUCTURED?
The evening begins with coffee and fellowship and flows to a Large Group meeting with worship, prayer, a reading of the steps or recovery principles, and a Biblically-based teaching or a testimony. Gender specific support groups immediately follow the Large Group fellowship. We share our experience, strength, and hope in an open share fashion.

THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
The 8 Recovery Principles Realize I’m not God. Admit I’m powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. (Matthew 5:3) Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover. (Matthew 5:4) Consciously choose to commit my life and will to Christ’s care and control. (Matthew 5:5) Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. (Matthew 5:6) Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Matthew 5:7) Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others. (Matthew 5:8) Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. (Matthew 5:9) Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. (Matthew 5:10) |
