On Tuesday evenings 7:00 - 9:00pm, Celebrate Recovery offers an 8 step recovery group based on the beatitudes for those in recovery from all types of addictions.
Why we ‘Celebrate Recovery'…
It is to encourage fellowship and to celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the eight recovery principles found in the Beatitudes and in twelve Christ-centered steps. This experience allows us to be changed. We open the door by sharing our experiences, victories, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace and forgiveness in solving our life’s problems.
By working through the eight principles and twelve steps, 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 others and our personal, loving, and forgiving Higher Power, Jesus Christ.
Celebrate Recovery Small Groups will:
Provide you a safe place to share your experiences, strengths and hopes with others who are going through the "Principles" in a Christ-Centered recovery.
Provide you a leader who has gone through a similar hurt, hang-up on habit that will facilitate the group as it focuses on a particular Step each week.
The leader will also keep Celebrate Recovery's "five rules."
Provide you with the opportunity to find an accountability partner or sponsor.
Encourage you to attend other recovery meetings held throughout the week, if available.
Celebrate Recovery Small Groups will not:
Attempt to offer any professional clinical advice. Our leaders are not counselors. We will provide you with a list of approved counseling referrals.
Allow its members to attempt to fix one another.
RECOVERY is based on the Beatitudes
Realize I am not God: I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.
Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor. - Matthew 5:3
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. - Matthew 5:4

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. - Matthew 5:7 & Happy are the peacemakers. - Matthew 5:9
Reserve a daily time with God, for self examination, Bible readings and prayer, in order to know God and His will for my life, and to gain the power to follow His will.
