CELEBRATE RECOVERY TEAM
We meet every Thursday in the sanctuary. Free dinner starts at 6 PM, Lesson starts at 7PM. Bring yourself, we would love to see you.
Do you have a hurt, habit or hang-up that is hindering your relationship with God? The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the eight recovery principles found in Beatitudes and Christ centered 12 steps. This experience allows us to be changed. We open the door by sharing our experiences, victories, and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God's grace in solving our life problems.
By working the Christ Centered steps and applying their Biblical principles found in the Beatitudes, 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 principles and the steps, we discover our personal, loving, and forgiving Higher Power-Jesus Christ.
