At 6:30 PM everyone gathers together for large group. During the large group gathering, we worship God through music. We hear the success stories of others who have enjoyed recovery, and we hear teaching on specific topics.

After large group we divide into open share groups. Open share groups provide a safe place to express your experiences, strengths, and hopes with others. The group facilitator has gone through a similar hurt, habit, or hang-up. Open share groups provide you with an opportunity to find an accountability partner and/or sponsor. Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements of CR.

If you struggle with any of the following, Celebrate Recovery can help you find hope and healing: chronic use of chemical substances, alcohol, food, sex, or relationships; depression; anger; co-dependency; shame; or anything else that gets in the way of you being all that God has called you to be.

A Hurt, Habit or Hang-Up is anything that may be hindering your walk with God.

HURTS: Hurts are the emotional reactions we experience to another person’s behavior or to some disappointing or disturbing situation. (i.e. abuse, abandonment, divorce, grief, relationship issues, codependency)

HABITS: Habits are addictions to something or someone that control your thoughts and actions. (i.e. alcoholism, substance abuse, food addiction, gambling, sex, shopping, dysfunctional relationships)

HANG-UPS: Hang–ups are negative mental attitudes that are used to cope with difficult people or adversities. (i.e. anger, depression, fear, anxiety, resentment, unforgiveness)

These are life problems that are common to many people in today’s culture. They can easily become stumbling blocks that cause our hearts to harden and turn us away from seeking God. Celebrate Recovery helps us turn these difficulties around and instead use them as stepping stones to a life of sobriety and faith in Jesus Christ. We would love to have you join us, wherever you are on your journey!

1. We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable.

I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. Romans 7:18

2. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Philippians 2:13

3. We made a decision to turn our lives and our wills over to the care of God.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1

4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Lamentations 3:40

5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. James 5:16a

6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10

7. We humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

Do to others as you would have them do to you. Luke 6:31

9. We made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5:23-24

10. We continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 1 Corinthians 10:12

11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and power to carry that out.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Colossians 3:16a

12. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to others and practice these principles in all our affairs.

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore them gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Galatians 6:1

Our group leaders are compassionate volunteers who have struggled with their own hurts, hang-ups, habits or addictions, AND have found hope and healing through Jesus Christ. Each leader is a follower of Christ and has demonstrated a sober and/or overcoming lifestyle in the area in which they struggle.

Although Celebrate Recovery is a 12-step ministry, we boldly proclaim that Jesus Christ is our “higher power,” and we firmly believe and depend upon the miracle-working power of the Lord Jesus Christ in the process of recovery.

We believe the answer is a resounding YES! Through faith in Christ, prayer and a healthy system of accountability we can be free of any addiction, addictive behavior, hurt, hang-up or habit.

We believe the principles used in Celebrate Recovery are helpful for all types of life controlling behaviors and anything in our lives that keeps us from being the men and women that God has called us to be.

Absolutely. Addiction has an impact on the entire family. Celebrate Recovery is a ministry for the whole family and offers small groups that address a variety of issues for men and women that will provide support and a safe place to deal with the hurt and pain in your life.

While we will do nothing to intentionally embarrass you or shame you, we trust the safe and caring atmosphere of the group will encourage you to share your hurts. We believe that we are changed as we share our experience, strength and hope with others.

Yes. We also encourage individuals to establish a team of accountability people – people who can walk with you in the process, holding you accountable for different aspects of your recovery.

Although each of our group leaders has a caring heart, they are not equipped to offer in-depth counseling or clinical therapy. In the event this type of treatment is necessary, we would be happy to refer you to a qualified Christian professional.

You are welcome at Celebrate Recovery no matter what church affiliation or background you may have. Many participants have not attended church in years, if at all. However, if you do not have a home church, we welcome you to join us during any of our worship services.

Yes. For a local list of ongoing meetings, please ask a Team Member for info or check the national Celebrate Recovery website here.
