Celebrate Recovery is for everyone.
CR focuses on "hurts, habits, and hang-ups". We have all been hurt. We have all struggled with bad habits. We have all hurt someone else in our lives. Everyone needs healing. Everyone needs recovery. That is the awesome perspective that Celebrate Recovery brings to the church, to hurting people. The large group CR meetings are formatted in a way that ANYONE can come, no matter what you're dealing with (we're all dealing with something!).
During the first hour, the worship time is similar to that of a church gathering, with testimonies and encouragement, and a teaching straight from God's Word. Then the second hour is group time, where people are free to join a smaller recovery-specific gathering to share more testimonies and work on the principles. There are also step-study groups meeting throughout the week to take people deeper into recovery and healing through Jesus Christ!
Celebrate Recovery is a comprehensive recovery program that addresses issues not only of recovery from addicitions such as alcoholism, drugs, sex, gambling, and food, but also abuse recovery issues such as sexual abuse and domestic violence.
If you have struggled with any of these issues in the past, or have participated in any 12-step programs, or are currently struggling in any of these areas, I would LOVE to hear from you soon!
