Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery ministry designed to help people find freedom from life's hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Whether someone is struggling with addiction, anxiety, anger, codependency, grief, past trauma, unhealthy relationships, or other life challenges, Celebrate Recovery provides a safe and supportive environment where healing and transformation can take place through the power of Jesus Christ.

The program is built upon 8 Recovery Principles based on the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5 and incorporates 12 biblical steps that guide participants toward spiritual growth, personal accountability, and lasting change. Through worship, biblical teaching, open-share groups, and step studies, participants learn to surrender their struggles to God, experience His grace, and build authentic relationships with others who are pursuing recovery.

Celebrate Recovery is not just for those battling addictions—it is for anyone seeking God's healing and wholeness in their life. It is a place where brokenness meets hope, where burdens are shared, and where people discover the freedom and purpose that Christ offers.
Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find freedom from your hurts, hang-ups, and habits through Jesus Christ.
