Celebrate Recovery (CR) is a Christ-centered, 12-step recovery program for anyone struggling with hurt, pain or addiction of any kind. CR is a safe place to find community and freedom from the issues that are controlling our life. This program is for all people groups, internal/external to the church, as we all have hurts, habits, and hang-ups in our lives. CR currently holds regular gatherings on Tuesday evenings that are open to the public.

The journey on the road to recovery is not meant to be taken alone. Similarly, the CR Ministry is not meant to be led alone. The Ministry runs more smoothly when the program is run by a group of leaders. Dividing responsibilities among a group of leaders (the T.E.A.M.) enables the program to help more hurting people. It is not intended that a CR leader “does it all.” However, it is the responsibility of the leadership to supervise assigned areas.
