Celebrate Recovery

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered program designed to help people overcome life’s hurts, habits and hang-ups. It is made up of everyday people who are on a journey toward wholeness, seeking recovery from and celebrating God's healing of life's hurts, habits and hang-ups. Trained leaders provide safe, confidential, Christ-centered groups where people can grow. They offer their stories as fellow travelers on the journey to healing.

Celebrate Recovery is for you if you have experienced:

  • thoughts or emotions (such as depression, fear, anxiety, anger, etc.) that result in actions or attitudes that affect your life negatively
  • abuse (verbal, physical, sexual, religious) from which you have not received complete healing
  • loss of a loved one through death, divorce or separation
  • the inability to control your actions or reactions to other people or situations

We have all experienced disappointment and pain, and developed coping mechanisms that, at the time, helped us to deal with the issue. However, we have continued using those coping mechanisms even though they no longer help us, and may actually harm us and those we love.

Simply put, we need a God-intervention; we need someone more powerful than ourselves to break our cycle and heal us from the inside out.

That Higher Power is Jesus Christ.

What to Expect

Celebrate Recovery starts at 7:00 pm, where we study the 12 steps to wholeness through lessons and testimonies. At 8:00 pm we break into small groups where we are free to share what we are going through, and to receive strength, hope and experience through the sharing of others. We then close the evening with fellowship, so people can get to know each other a little better. This road to recovery is not meant to be travelled alone.

“I visited the church on Sunday with my family. The moment I stepped into the front doors of the building, I was greeted by two women, and they made me feel at home. I was very nervous to be back in church, and my desire was to find a new home and I did. The moment the worship started I felt the presence. I was happy and I am so eager to come again on Sunday. The preaching hit home and ministered my life greatly. I took my portion of blessing home, and I was happy to know now I have a church where I can go”

"Youth group is where I got to know Christ for myself, where I first encountered the Holy Spirit, where I learned to worship loudly and without shame. It's where I felt safe, and most of all, it’s where I made bonds and lasting relationships that I’m forever thankful for."
