What is Celebrate REcovery?
Celebrate Recovery is a network of highly imperfect people helping other highly imperfect people learn the skills that help us navigate our way through a world that is very often toxic and painful by providing a safe place for all people to receive and give support in dealing with the hurts, habits, and hang-ups that we all face.
We attempt to accomplish this by learning, understanding, and practicing the traditional 12 steps of recovery as well as 8 recovery principles from the New Testament. The goal of Celebrate Recovery is a complete transformation where both the mind and the body benefit from learning new and effective ways to cope with our past, our present, and our future redemptively. We understand that authentic transformation occurs over time and is rarely quick and never perfect.

We understand that authentic transformation occurs over time and is rarely quick and never perfect.
By diligent application of our new skills, we slowly begin to discover the presence and reality of a forgiving and empowering God that is active on our behalf—the reason we celebrate. Through our work and celebration, we begin to experience moments of freedom from the addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors of our past. By continuing with our program we find that these moments of freedom gradually become our new way of life.
Through Celebrate Recovery, we believe it’s possible to renew and reinvigorate every relationship we have, at least from our perspective. We can’t control other people, and we don’t attempt to. We simply endeavor to control our own thoughts and behaviors based on the truth taught by Jesus. You’re certainly welcome to attend the next Celebrate Recovery meeting. We all welcome your participation and happily invite you to check us out.
