New to Celebrate Recovery?
We are all struggling with a hurt, habit or hang-up. We need a safe place for recovery and healing to take place. Celebrate Recovery is that safe place. It is open to anyone who is struggling with any addictions or compulsions. Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-Centered 12-Step approach to freedom in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to embrace God's healing power in our lives. We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God's grace in solving our lives' problems, pain, shame, and addictions. By working and applying the 12 Steps and Biblical Principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictions, compulsions, and dysfunctional behaviors. We break the bondage from the hurts that haunt us, the habits that control us, and the hang-ups that possess us. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.
Everyone is welcome and accepted here, no judgements, no lectures, no hassles - just help, love and support! This is what you have been seeking to make a difference in your life and in the lives of others.
Is Celebrate Recovery for me?
Celebrate Recovery offers a person the opportunity to participate in a group fellowship where
love and hope combine with God’s purpose to mend our lives. Ask yourself:
• Are there things in my life that I do that hurt others?
• Is there something I wish I could live without?
• Is it time to crack my denial and admit I am not in control of my life?
• Do I have a painful habit or hang-up from which I need to be freed?
If you answered “yes” to any of these statements then we urge you to attend a Celebrate
Recovery meeting to see if it is for you. Read the documents below for more detailed information about Celebrate Recovery.
