Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery program designed to help people address a variety of hurts, habits, and hang-ups. Our weekly format includes worship, teaching and personal recovery experiences, and small group interaction.
Celebrate Recovery provides a safe environment for real life change in Jesus Christ, as participants personally work through specific biblically-based recovery steps in the context of Christian community. We recognize the truth that we need each other to grow personally and spiritually.
We open the door to recovery by sharing our experiences, strength and hope with one another. This leads to a greater capacity for accepting God's grace and movement in our lives as we are working through our issues.
The recovery process enables us to move towards greater freedom from addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. The freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and, most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.
If all your pursuits to find life and ease your pain have led to more pain and emptiness, maybe it is time to consider something else. Join us, as together, we pursue real live in Jesus Christ and celebrate the recovery only He can bring through His people and His Word.

The Road to Recovery
R |
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. Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor. |
E |
Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to him, and that He has the power to help me recover. Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. |
C |
Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. Happy are the meek. |
O |
Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. Happy are the pure in heart. |
V |
Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires. |
E |
Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others. Happy are the merciful. Happy are the peacemakers. |
R |
Reserve a daily 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. |
Y |
Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires. |
