Celebrate Recovery
ministry provides fellowship and celebrates God's healing power in
our lives through the "8
Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be
changed." By working and applying these Biblical principles, we
begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive,
compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates
peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal
relationship with God and others. As we progress through the
program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher
Power - Jesus Christ.

Most people are
familiar with the classic 12 step program of AA and similar
groups. While undoubtedly many lives have been helped through the
12 steps, we believe that this program is unlike any recovery
program you may have seen. There are seven features that make it
unique:
-
This recovery
program is based on God's Word, the Bible
-
This recovery
program emphasizes personal responsibility
-
This recovery
program emphasizes spiritual commitment to Jesus Christ
-
This recovery
program utilizes the Biblical truth that we need each other to
grow spiritually and emotionally
-
This recovery
program addresses all types of habits, hurts and hang-ups
-
Finally, this
recovery program produces lay ministers!

Small Groups Can:

that will facilitate the group as it focuses on a particular
issue.

Provide an
opportunity to find an accountability partner or sponsor
