What is Celebrate Recovery?
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-Centered 12-step program where we gain freedom, acceptance, and accountability for any of life’s hurts, habits or hang-ups. By applying the 8 Recovery Principles within the 12-step program, we open ourselves up to God’s grace so that we can break free. We also open the door to recovery by sharing our experiences and hopes with one another.
The Celebrate Recovery ministry is open to all ages, and for anyone who has hurts, habits, or hang-ups.
The Road to Recovery
8 Principles Based on the Beatitudes by Rick Warren
Realize I’m not God; that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.
“Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.”
Earnestly believe that God’s 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 any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects.
“Happy are those who 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 Ive done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others.
“Happy are the merciful.” “Happy are the peacemakers.”
Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power follow His will.
Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words.
“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.”
