Welcome
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery program designed to help men and women address a variety of hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Our Tuesday evening General Meeting format includes worship, teaching and personal recovery testimonies; small group interaction, including a special one-time newcomer’s orientation; and fellowship. Our Monday evening Men's and Women's Step Study format includes worship, teaching, and small group interaction.

Celebrate Recovery provides a safe environment for real life change in Jesus Christ, as participants personally work through specific biblically-based recovery steps in the context of Christian community. We recognize the truth that we need each other to grow personally and spiritually.

We open the door to recovery by sharing our experiences, strength, and hope with one another. This leads to a greater capacity for accepting God’s grace and movement in our lives as we are working through our issues.

The recovery process enables us to move towards greater freedom from addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and, most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.

If all of your pursuits to find life and ease your pain have led to more pain and emptiness, maybe it is time to consider something else. We welcome you to join us to pursue together real life in Jesus Christ and celebrate the recovery only He can bring through His people and His Word!
