What Is Celebrate Recovery?

Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to address destructive or compulsive behaviors, unhealthy relationships, addictions (drugs, alcohol, food, pornography), anger, shame, codependency (addiction to people and control), past abuse and so much more. People can find freedom from any hurt, hang-up, or habit that is making their life unmanageable.

What Happens At CR?

THERE ARE 3 MAIN COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE CELEBRATE RECOVERY PROGRAM:

LARGE GROUP

This is where everyone meets together to hear either a recovery-centered teaching or a personal testimony of a changed life. We consider this a “shoulder-to-shoulder” experience.

OPEN SHARE

This is the time we break into separate gender and issue-specific groups where each person is safe to share their struggles and victories with others who share their similar hurts, hang-ups, and habits. We consider this a “face-to-face” experience.

STEP STUDY

It has been said that “you go to a meeting to feel better, but you work the steps to get better.” Step Studies are a safe place to work through the Jesus-centered 12 Steps in a gender-specific group. They are a minimum one-year commitment and meet on different nights of the week. It's a place where the “why” behind addictions and behavior can finally be uncovered and freedom can be found. We consider this a “heart-to-heart” experience. Step Study Groups are held during the week and not during the Large Group meeting.
