Celebrate Recovery
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered 12-step program, that helps us deal with our hurts, hang-ups and habits. It was started in 1991 at Saddleback Church in California and today there are thousands of churches worldwide offering people this way of finding hope in dealing with their issues. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find friendships and healing from the things that have become unmanageable in our lives. It is not a program, but a Christ-centered life style where we can find others who have been through some of the same things we are experiencing and a place to find serenity and freedom.
Anyone who has something in their life that has cause their life to become unmanageable, and knows there must be something better for them. It offers a place for hope and change to take place for those who feel they have been abandoned, abused, neglected, addicted or suffer from compulsive behavior. Are you tired of your “little secret”? Are you tired of pretending you can do this on your own? We offer a safe place to talk about it.

How It Works
The meetings last about 2 hours but are broken up in to big group and small group. We start with some worship music, and then we either have a lesson or a personal testimony from someone. Then we break into small groups with men with men, and women with women. In these small groups we practice confidentiality so we can open up more about what we are going through. We learn to love and to be loved, for who we really are, regardless of what we have done. We get real and start genuine friendships with people who share our experiences or can relate to what we are going through. We put our trust in Jesus Christ…the only true Higher Power, who demonstrated his love for us. We teach the principles of the Bible, His written message to us.
