Celebrate Recovery offers anyone and everyone a safe place to be authentic and real about what is going on in our lives. And with God’s help and nudging we have the courage to ask ourselves:
Are there things in my life that I do that hurt others?
Is there something I wish I could live without?
Is it time to set aside my denial and admit I am not in control of my life?
Do I have a painful habit or hang-up from which I need to be freed?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then Celebrate Recovery is absolutely the best place for you to spend your Tuesday nights. 

We do not charge for this ministry! We accept donations from those who are able, but will always maintain that if you need a resource that we have and cannot afford it, we want you to take it with no strings attached.

A hurt, habit, or hang-up is anything that hinders your walk with God.
Hurt: The feeling/emotional reaction to another person’s behavior or to a traumatic or disturbing situation (abuse, abandonment, divorce, relationship problems, relational addiction, codependency etc.)
Habit: Addiction to someone or something (alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gambling, stealing, smoking, pornography etc.)
Hang-up: Negative mental attitudes that are used IN AN ATTEMPT to cope with people or adversity (anger, depression, resentment etc.)

In our open share groups, absolutely not… until you are ready. You can pass or remain quiet any time you wish and for as long as it takes for you to become comfortable in the group. In Step Studies everyone is required to share as the questions are asked.

Yes! Celebrate Recovery maintains strict confidentiality and anonymity in all of our groups. Our guidelines/rules protect us all from judgment or being “fixed.” This promotes an atmosphere of safety and trust which enables our recovery. WHAT HAPPENS ON TUESDAY NIGHTS STAYS ON TUESDAY NIGHTS!
 
Small Group/ Table Guidelines
Self-Focus: We are here to work on ourselves, not on others. Please, keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings, and limit your sharing time to 3-5 minutes and let everyone know when you are done talking. We are also free to choose not to share and remain quiet without being singled out.
Confidentiality: What is said or done in this group is not to be discussed elsewhere (including prayer requests). This is absolutely necessary in order for this to be a SAFE PLACE. Respect Others: We do not judge, criticize, analyze or “fix” others as this takes away from our own recovery. We won’t give advice or scriptures in an attempt to fix another. We will only share them as it pertains to our own healing, this includes after small groups as well. We are here to
support each other. Each of us is free to find our own answers. Always use me or I statements.
Cross Talk: There will be no cross talk (two individuals engaging in dialogue which excludes all others). Each person is free to express feelings without interruption. Tissues & Physical Contact: Passing tissue and/or touching someone while they are going through an emotional moment, can cause them to shut down and be unable to complete the healing process. Please keep this a safe place for all.
Language: This is a Christian group, so the use of offensive language is not a vehicle to be used for expression.
Cell Phones: These can be distracting to everyone at the table, please turn them off and keep them out of sight. Start/Ending Time: We will do our best to start and end on time. We value the time we have and want to use it in the best way possible.  
 

The principle difference between AA, NA, (and other twelve step programs) and Celebrate Recovery is that CR admits that Jesus Christ is our Higher Power and we use God’s Word as the authority in relation to the 12 Steps. In order to reach people who would be offended by Jesus or the church, AA, NA, and other twelve step programs focus on a Higher Power. But CR’s 8 Recovery Principles tie the twelve steps to Jesus Christ’s teachings known as the beatitudes given in the Sermon on the Mount.

No, Celebrate Recovery is a ministry for anyone who is interested in recovering from their hurts, habits, and hang-ups. We have attendees who are not members, attend another church, or do not attend church at all. Everyone, no matter what they believe in, is loved, welcomed and accepted at Celebrate Recovery.

You are welcome to come whenever and how often you can. As with any program however, the more effort you put into Celebrate Recovery, the more you will benefit from what the program has to offer. The only exception is Step Studies, and those you are expected to attend each week until you complete it.

Just the chains that bind you: anger, codependency, depression, grief, shame, guilt, compulsive behaviors, fear, etc…
