Celebrate
Recovery
What's special about our Wednesday nights? At the heart of every midweek is our Celebrate recovery ministry
​
Focus: It’s not just for people with substance abuse struggles. It’s for anyone dealing with things like anger, codependency, anxiety, depression, grief, control issues, eating disorders, past trauma, pornography, etc.
​
Structure:
Uses 8 recovery principles based on the Beatitudes (Matthew 5).Incorporates the 12 steps of recovery, re-framed with biblical truth and Scripture references.
Includes large group worship, testimonies, teaching, and smaller gender-specific open share groups.
​
Goal: To experience healing and freedom through Jesus Christ as the King and Rescuer, than just through self-help.
​
Worldwide reach: Thousands of churches across denominations run Celebrate Recovery groups.
​
We focus on the transforming power of Christ to heal all kinds of brokenness—not only addiction.
