Powerful Worship
Experience the power of communal life during our large group meeting. We come together as a family to share in uplifting music, hear inspiring testimonies of recovery, and receive biblical teaching that points us toward the healing power of Jesus Christ. This is a safe space where we celebrate God's grace and find strength in our shared journey toward wholeness.
Find Your Community
Before our program begins, we invite you to join us for a shared community meal. This is a vital time of fellowship where we break bread together, build meaningful connections, and prepare our hearts for the evening ahead in a warm, welcoming environment.
Men's Open Share
A welcoming space for men to process struggles and find healing alongside brothers in faith. Whether it's anger, addiction, or relationship issues, you don't have to carry the burden alone.
Open Share Small Groups
The Open Share Small Group is the time when we can take off our masks and be real with ourselves and others in a safe, gender-specific environment. These groups provide a place to share your experiences, strengths, and hopes without fear of judgment. Here, you will find peer support as you walk through your recovery journey, strictly guided by confidentiality and our small group rules.
What is said in the group stays in the group.
Women's Open Share
Dedicated groups for women to find encouragement and spiritual support. Share your journey in a protected space where confidentiality creates the foundation for true community and growth.
Deepen Your Recovery
The Step Study small group is for those seeking a deeper, long-term commitment to their healing journey. Moving through the Christ-centered curriculum in a safe, gender-specific environment, you'll gain the tools and community support needed for lasting transformation and spiritual maturity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Celebrate Recovery?
We ARE: A safe place, a refuge, a place of belonging, a place to care for others and be cared for, where respect is given to each member, where confidentiality is highly regarded, a place to learn, grow and become strong again, where you and your family can take off your mask, a place for healthy challenges and healthy risks, and a possible turning point in your life. We are NOT: A place of selfish control, therapy, a place for secrets, a place to look for dating relationships, a place to rescue or be rescued by others, a place of perfection, a long-term commitment, a place to judge others or a quick fix.
Who is Celebrate Recovery for?
Celebrate Recovery is for anyone struggling with life. If you have ever had a hurt, if you have ever had a hang-up in life, or perhaps you have struggled with an addiction, then this ministry is for you. We all share one thing in common: hurt. Our recommendation would be that you attend five or six meetings before you decide if this is for you.
Do you have a place for my kids?
Yes. Celebration Place meets in the Children’s wing for middle school and under. You will be required to check them in and out for their safety, but you do not need to sign up ahead of time.
What can I expect?
Celebrate Recovery is one of the most loving environments you will be a part of. Everyone here is on the same road as you are, and though your issues may be differing in some ways, we are all seeking truth in the same way. This is a safe environment where you can be who you are. We want you to be comfortable, so come as you are.
Do I have to come for the full 3 hours on Tuesday night?
While each component of Celebrate Recovery is important, you are not required to attend all 3 hours on Tuesday night. We know that each person’s situation is unique and simply ask you to attend what is applicable and convenient for you.
Does it cost anything to attend?
There is no cost to attend Celebrate Recovery meetings. We do offer a meal on Tuesday evenings from 5:30-6:30pm. Free-will offerings are received during the large group worship time, but there is no obligation to give. Workbooks and other resources are utilized in the step study groups offered at other times outside of the Tuesday night meetings and are available for purchase.
What is recovery?
In physical health, recovery refers to the process of moving from illness to wellness. Our hurts, hang-ups, and habits are like an illness, and through using the tools of Celebrate Recovery, we begin to move toward wholeness and healing.
Is Celebrate Recovery for me?
Celebrate Recovery offers a person the opportunity to participate in group fellowship where love and hope combine with God’s purpose to mend our lives. Are there things in my life that I do that hurt others? Is there something I wish I could live without? Is it time to admit I am not in control of my life? Do I have a painful hang-up or habit from which I need to be freed? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we urge you to attend a Celebrate Recovery meeting.
