Celebrate Recovery

A safe place to overcome your hurts, habits, and hang-ups. . .Welcome to an AMAZING SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE!

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the eight recovery principles found in the Beatitudes and Christ-centered 12 Steps.  This experience allows us to be changed.  We open the door by sharing our experiences, victories, and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our life problems.

By working the Christ-centered steps and applying their biblical principles found in the Beatitudes, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors.  This freedom created peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.

As we progress through the principles and the steps, we discover our personal, loving, and forgiving Higher Power — Jesus Christ.

Recovery Principles, based on the Beatitudes, by Pastor Rick Warren

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.

Step 1

“Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.”   Matthew 5:3

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the

   power to help me recover. 

 Step 2

“Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”  Matthew 5:4

Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and

    control. 

Step 3

“Happy are the meek.”   Matthew 5:5

Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I

    trust. 

Steps 4 & 5

“Happy are the pure in heart.”  Matthew 5:8

Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and

    humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. 

Steps 6 & 7

“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.” 

Matthew 5:6

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. 

Steps 8 & 9

“Happy are the merciful.”  “Happy are the peacemakers.”

Matthew 5:7                                        Matthew 5:9

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 the power

   to follow His will.  Steps 10 & 11

Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by

   my example and by my words. 

Step 12

“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.”  Matthew 5:10

  before our LORD.
