Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered and Bible-based 12-Step Recovery Program. The purpose is to focus on God's healing power through fellowship with others. By working on the 12 steps and the 8 Beatitude principles, small groups open up, share experiences, and explore hope. In this way, we become willing to accept God's grace in solving hurts, habits, and hang-ups.

How does Celebrate Recovery work?

This tried and proven recovery system combines dynamics of small groups, sponsors, accountability partners, and special occasions to build recovery for those struggling with addictive habits, codependency, childhood hurts, pornography, sex addictions, and other life experiences that affect our peace.

Who needs it?

Anyone can participate in Celebrate Recovery:

1. Anyone ready to start a new life
2. Men and women, 18 and older
3. The addicted and their families
4. The guilty, broken, or compulsive
5. Anyone in need of recovery

Many have been dealt tragic blows in their lives. Our choices cause painful and lingering consequences, leading to guilt, remorse, grief, and shame.

We welcome hurting ones who need to commit to the higher power of Jesus Christ and fellowship with others that leads to new life.

Who leads it?

Celebrate Recovery is conducted by Christians who have been through the 12-step recovery program themselves. The understand Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit leads the group.

The 8 Principles

1. Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.
   "Blessed are those who know they are spiritually poor"
    
2. Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.
   "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
    
3. Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control.
   "Blessed are the meek."
    
4. Openly examine and confess my faults to god, to myself, and to someone I trust.
   "Blessed are the pure in heart."
    
5. Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects.
   "Blessed are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires."
    
6. Evaluate all of 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.
   "Blessed are the merciful." and "Blessed are the peacemakers."
    
7. 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.
    
8. Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.
   Blessed are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.
