Welcome! We are so glad you made the decision to come to Celebrate Recovery! You have walked into a safe place where it's okay not to be okay. The good news is we do not have to stay that way. God has provided a way out. If you're seeking change, you've come to the right place!

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the 12 steps and 8 Recovery Principles. We share our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another while accepting God's grace in solving our life's problems. By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually and obtain freedom from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through this program, we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ! All you have to do is KEEP COMING BACK!

1. Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Please limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes.
2. There will be no cross talk, please. Cross talk is when two individuals engage in a dialogue, excluding all others. Each person is free to express their feelings without interruption.
3. We are here to support one another. We will not attempt to "fix" one another.
4. Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in this group stays in the group! The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.
5. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group, including no graphic descriptions.

1. Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable. / Beatitude – Matthew 5:3

2. Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover. / Beatitude – Matthew 5:4

3. Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. / Beatitude – Matthew 5:5

4. Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. / Beatitude -Matthew 5:8

5. Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. / Beatitude – Matthew 5:6

6. Evaluate 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. / Beatitude – Matthew 5:7

7. Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and gain power to follow His will.

8. Voluntarily yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. / Beatitude – Matthew 5:10

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is; not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life; and supremely happy with You forever in the next. AMEN - Reinhold Neibuhr
