What is Celebrate Recovery?

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ centered program that gives people the resources and relationships to help them recover from life's hurts, habits, and hang-ups. This is a program for anyone struggling with past or current dysfunctions or compulsions, whether they are affecting their own life or the lives of those around them.

The purpose of CR is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the Eight Recovery Principles found in the Beatitudes and Christ-Centered Twelve Steps. This experience allows us to "be changed". We open the door to personal healing and growth by sharing our experiences, victories and hopes with one another as well as learning to accept God's grace in our lives.

By working the Christ-centered steps and applying their Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually and become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and, most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.

As we progress through the program we learn to discover and rely more and more upon our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, the One and Only Higher Power.

Group Guidelines:

• Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Please limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes.

• There will be no cross talk please. Cross talk is when 2 individuals engage in dialogue, excluding all others. Each person is free to express feelings without interruption.

• We are here to support one another. We will not attempt to “fix” another.

• Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group!

• Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered group.

Celebrate Recovery small groups can:

• Provide you a safe place to share your experiences, strengths and hopes with others who are going through the “Principles” in a Christ-Centered recovery.

• Provide you a leader who has gone through a similar hurt, hang-up on habit that will facilitate the group as it focuses on a particular Step each week. 

• Provide you with the opportunity to find an accountability partner or sponsor.

• Encourage you to attend other recovery meetings held throughout the week, if available.

Celebrate Recovery Small Groups Will Not:

• Attempt to offer any professional clinical advice. Our leaders are not counselors. 

• Allow its members to attempt to fix one another.
