If you’ve “had enough” you're ready
for Celebrate Recovery!
This Christ-centered recovery ministry has been duplicated in more than
500 churches across the nation. Celebrate Recovery is a biblical pro-
gram to help people overcome their hurts, habits, and hang-ups The
format of the weekly meetings is praise and worship, fellowship, a
message of testimony on one of'the "Eight Recovery Principles," and
small groups.
The ‘Eight Recovery Principles’ are rooted in the teachings of Christ. By
working and applying these scriptual principles, we begin to grow spiri-
tually qnd become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunc-
tional behaviors. The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship
and celebrate God's healing power in our lives. 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 the prob-
lems we all face.
Who needs Celebrate Recovery? Anyone who has "Had Enough" of
living under the burden of your hurts, habits, and hang-ups Anyone
who wants to experience the happiness described by Jesus in Mat-
thew 5:5-12.
