The Celebrate Recovery ministry is a world-wide 12 step ministry to celebrate God´s healing power of hurts, habits and hang-ups in all our lives. 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 life's 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. CR is for everyone!
 
 

Support Group Guidelines

1. Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Please limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes.
2. There will be no cross talk. Cross talk is when 2 individuals engage in dialogue, excluding all others. Each person is free to express feelings without interruption.
3. We are here to support one another. We will not attempt to “fix” another.
4. Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group!
5. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered group.

The Twelve Steps and Their Biblical Comparisons:

1. We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable. 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 carry it out".  Romans 7:18
2. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. "For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose".  Philippians 2:13
3. We made a decision to turn our lives and our wills over to the care of God. "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".  Romans 12:1
4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.  "Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord". Lamentations 3:40
5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed".  James 5:16
6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.  "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up".          James 4:10
7. We humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings.  "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness".  1 John 1:9
8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.  "Do to others as you would have them do to you". Luke 6:31
9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.  "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift".  Matthew 5:23-24
10. We continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.  "So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall"!  1 Corinthians 10:12
11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and power to carry that out.  "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly".  Col. 3:16
12. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.  "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore them gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted".  Galatians 6:1
