Painful experiences from the past or present (like rejection, loss, abuse or betrayal, family relationships, etc)
Ongoing struggles in our thinking or emotions (like fear, anger, anxiety, or insecurity, etc).
Behaviors we keep repeating, even when they’re not good for us (like overworking, people-pleasing, technology fixation, overeating, or substance use, etc).
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.
This experience allows us to be changed. We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our lives’ problems.
By working and applying these biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free 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 the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power – Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power.
Testimony by Patrick McGinnis (shared with permission)
Every story is different. The hurts, hang-ups, and habits we carry don’t all look the same. But the invitation of Jesus is the same for all of us—to bring everything into the light and experience His grace, truth, and transformation.
Celebrate Recovery is a space where honesty is welcomed, shame loses its grip, and hope is restored. It’s not about having a certain kind of struggle — it’s about surrendering whatever we carry to Christ.
If something in this story resonates, know that there is a place for you.
Join us for an optional meal together; $5 adults,$3 children aged 3 + (free under 3).
Worship and Teaching Session (singing, prayer, teaching and/or testimony).
Our current Recovery Group options:
Hang around after small groups for some time to connect.
For the past two years, our Celebrate Recovery ministry has led our church through a powerful Good Friday experience: The Seven Last Words of Jesus.
These short messages walk through the final words of Jesus—spoken in the midst of suffering, yet filled with grace, truth, and redemption. Each word is paired with Scripture, reflection, and moments of silence to help us fully enter the weight of the cross.
We believe these words still speak today—into our hurts, our habits, and our hang-ups. Wherever you are in your journey, we invite you to pause, watch, and reflect. Take a look:
