Our Mission

To help people overcome their hurts, habits, and hang-ups. A Christ centered ministry to encourage fellowship and to celebrate God’s   healing power in our lives as they travel down the road to recovery. Through sharing our hopes and experiences with one another, we become willing to accept God’s grace and forgiveness in solving our life’s problems. Based on the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-10, Celebrate Recovery takes you through the eight principles of recovery, the 12  steps and their Biblical comparisons.

“For 18 years, I lived a life addicted to drugs and alcohol.  It nearly destroyed my life.  At age 31, I hit rock bottom.  I made the decision to break free from my addictions.  I have been in recovery for 21 years.  Even though I began the road to recovery, I still couldn’t find my purpose.  I was just existing.  In November 2009, I gave my heart to Jesus.  I began to find meaning in life.  Not long after, God revealed the  purpose He had for me.  I was to champion a Celebrate Recovery Ministry.  A ministry to help people like me to overcome their hurts, habits, and hang-ups and to lead them down the road to recovery.  I no longer thirst for alcohol or drugs but as Psalm 42:1-2 says  As the deer pants for streams of water,  so my soul pants for you, my God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God…

8 Recovery Principles

based on the Beatitudes
R ealize I’m not God.  I admit that I am power- less to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable. (Matt. 5:3)
E arnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me   recover. (Matt. 5:4)
C onsciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control (Matt 5:5)
O penly examine and confess my faults to    myself, to God, and to someone I trust.     (Matt. 5:8)
V oluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to re- move my character defects. (Matt. 5:6)
E valuate 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. (Matt. 5:7-9)
R eserve a daily time with God for self- examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.
Y ield myself to be used by God to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. (Matt. 5:10)
