Celebrate Recovery is a safe place where people can come without fear of judgement to let go of the hurts, habits, and hang-ups that end up being baggage in our lives. We look specifically to Jesus Christ as our “Higher Power” and each week we focus on Biblical principles to learn healthy ways to replace our unhealthy behaviors. 

 

In our large group service, we alternate between a lesson and a personal testimony. After each large group meeting, we break out into smaller, gender specific open share groups that are a safe place to let go of that baggage we have accumulated.

 

We would love to see you on Friday night, we start with a free dinner at 6 pm.,  a great place to meet other people who aren’t afraid to admit that their lives need God’s help and direction. Come and check us out even if you don’t have any issues in your life, you will experience the presence of the Lord in our large group service and will leave refreshed!

Who, When, and Where?

  • Anyone who struggles!
  • Our meetings are every Friday night at 6:00 p.m. regardless of weather or holiday conflicts!
  • We meet for dinner in the Vine Cafe, worship in the Chapel, and break out into smaller groups later on in the evening.
  • There are several leaders present at every meeting to answer any questions you may have.

The Road to Recovery

Based on the Beatitudes

 

Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. (Step 1)

“Happy are those who know that they are spiritually poor.”

 

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover. (Step 2

“Happy are those how mourn, for they shall be comforted.”

 

Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. (Step 3)

“Happy are the meek.”

 

Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. (Steps  4 and 5)

“Happy are the pure in heart.”

 

Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Steps 6 and 7)

“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires”

 

Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. (Steps 8 and 9)

“Happy are the merciful.”

“Happy are the peacemakers”

 

Reserve a 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. (Steps 10 and 11)

 

Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words. (Step 12)

“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.”
