Real Hope for Real Life

You might think recovery is only for drug or alcohol addiction, but this community is for anyone ready to leave brokenness behind. Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, 12-step program where you can find freedom from the issues that are holding you back.

You will walk through a biblical framework that integrates Christian worship, teaching, and honest peer-led groups. The conviction here is simple: No one is too far gone to experience God’s redemption.

THE EIGHT PRINCIPLES

The Road to Recovery

You will walk through eight principles found in the Beatitudes to find true peace and spiritual growth.

  • Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable.

    “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.”

  • Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover.

    “Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”

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

    “Happy are the meek.”

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

    “Happy are the pure in heart.”

  • Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects.

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

  • Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, without expecting any reward.

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

  • Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.

  • Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.

    “Happy are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake.”

A Prayer for Peace

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.

— Reinhold Niebuhr
