Don’t give up! There is Hope…Celebrate Recovery fills a long-standing need in the church and its role as Christ’s healing agent. Developed by Pastors John Baker and Rick Warren of the renowned Saddleback Church, this program’s life-changing effectiveness has gained it an explosive, grass-roots popularity. Drawn from the Beatitudes in Matthew Chapter 5 of the New Testament, Celebrate Recovery helps people resolve painful problems in the context of the church as a whole. Rather than setting up an isolated recovery community, it helps participants and their churches come together and discover new levels of care, acceptance, trust, and grace.

Alcoholism – Divorce – Sexual Abuse – Codependency – Domestic Violence – Drug Addition – Sexual Addiction – These words are about more than “issues.” They’re about people who sit as close to us as the next pew–or our own. People struggling with problems that sermons or Bible studies alone won’t solve. But there is a way the church can help the hurting move beyond their wounds to experience the healing and liberty of Jesus Christ.

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered and Bible-based 12 Step Recovery Program. The purpose is to focus on God’s healing power through fellowship with others. By working the 12 Steps and the 8 Beatitude Principles, issue groups open up, share experiences, and explore hope. In this way, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our problems.
