The purpose of "Celebrate Recovery" is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the 12 steps and 8 recovery principles.  This experience allows us to "be changed".  We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another.  In addition, we become willing to accept God's Grace in solving our life's problems. By working a applying these 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.  First Time Visitor Wondering how to get plugged in?? What group is best for me?? How do I get started?? We meet every Sunday night at the church at 6:00pm. There will be someone to help you decide which group you would like to attend and how everything works!

8 Recovery Principles

Based on the BEATITUDES 

"Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor." ~Matthew 5:3 (Step 1)

Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable.

"Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." ~Matthew 5:4 (Step 2)

 Earnestly Believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.

"Happy are the meek." ~Matthew 5:5 (Step 3)

 Consciously choose to commit all of my life and will to Christ's care and control.

"Happy are the pure in heart," ~Matthew 5:8 (Step 4 & 5)

 Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God and to someone I trust.

"Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires." ~Matthew 5:6 (Step 6 & 7)

 Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask to remove my character defects.

"Happy are the merciful." ~Matthew 5:7 (Step 8)

"Happy are the peacemakers." ~Matthew 5:8 (Step 9)

 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.

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 gain the power to do it. (Steps 10 & 11)

"Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires." ~Matthew 5:10 (Step 12)

Yield myself to be used by God to bring this Good News to others, both by example and by my words.
