Come join us...
… with your hurts, hang-ups, and habits.
This is not a church service, but a fellowship teaching from the Celebrate Recovery Program. It has helped so many, with its biblical approach to walking in Recovery. We will be following the The Road To Recovery with the 8-Principles based on the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5:3-10 and the Christ-centered 12-Steps. For Jesus is the only one that can and will deliver you. He will help you through this journey of life. It may not always be perfect, when you begin or even as you continue. But God will help you to manage life.
Learn how God can heal, restore, and make you a new creation in Him.
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
So, no matter where you are in your journey, come join us, let us sharpen each other.
As iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens [and influences] another [through discussion]. Proverbs 27:17 AMP

Welcome New Comers!
The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the eight recovery principles found in the 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.

The Serenity Prayer
The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr
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

8 Principles from Beatitudes
Written by Rick Warren -8 Principles from the Beatitudes Matthew 5:3-10 NIV
- Realize I'm not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing an that my life is unmanageable. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Mat 5:3
- Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Mat 5:4
- Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control. "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." Mat 5:5
- Openly examine and confess my hurts, hang-ups and habits to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." Mat 5:8
- Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Mat 5:6
- Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." Mat 5:7 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Mat 5:9
- 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 to follow His will.
- Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words. "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mat 5:10
Christ-centered 12 Steps
12 Steps Christ-centered Bible based - NIV
- We admit that we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable. Romans 7:18 "I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot care it out."
- We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Philippians 2:13 "For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose."
- We made a decision to turn our lives and our wills over to the care of God. Romans 12:1 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship."
- We made a searching and fearless honest inventory of ourselves. Lamentations 3:40 "Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.
- We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. James 5:16 "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that so that you may be healed."

The Lord's Prayer
The Lord Prayer -Matthew 6:9-13 (New Living Translation)
Pray Like this: Our Father in heaven, may Your name be kept holy.
May Your Kingdom come soon. May Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
