Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered program that gives people the resources and relationships to help recover from life's hurts, habits and hang-ups.
This is a program for anyone struggling with addictions, dysfunctions or compulsions, whether they are affecting their own life or the lives of those around them.
The purpose of CR is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the eight Recovery Principles found in the Beatitudes and the Christ-centered 12 Steps. This experience allows us to "be changed." We open the door by sharing our experiences, victories and hopes with one another as well as learning to accept God's grace in our lives.
By working the Christ-centered steps and applying their 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. 
In practical terms?
Celebrate Recovery is:
• A safe place to share
• A refuge
• A place to belong
• A place to care for others and be cared for
• A place where you are respected
• 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 perfection
• A place to judge others
• A quick fix
