Celebrate Recovery Ministry

Celebrate Recovery sessions will be on Tuesday nights.

 

Do you have any *hurts, habits OR hang-ups? Then Celebrate Recovery is for you.

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God´s healing power in our lives through the 12 Steps and 8 Recovery Principles. This experience allows us to be changed.  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. 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, the one and only true Higher Power.

Welcome to an amazing spiritual adventure!

*Anything that hinders your walk with God. HURTS are emotional reactions to another person’s behavior or to disturbing situations (abuse, abandonment, codependency, divorce, etc.). HABITS are addictions to someone or something (alcohol, food, gambling, sex, shopping, smoking, etc.). HANG-UPS are negative mental attitudes that are used to cope with people or adversity (anger, depression, fear, unforgiveness, etc.).

Additional Celebrate Recovery Elements
As the ministry develops, persons will be encouraged to select accountability partners and, if applicable, join a 12-Step Group.

Celebrate Recovery is…
A safe place to share, a refuge, a place of belonging, a place to care for others and be cared for, a place where respect is given to each person, a place where confidentiality is highly regarded, a place to learn, a place to grow and become strong again, a place where you can take off your mask, a place for healthy challenges and healthy risks, a possible turning point in your life.

Celebrate Recovery is NOT:
A place for selfish control, a place for therapy, a place for secret, a place to look for dating relationships,  a place for perfection, a place to judge others, a quick fix.
