Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery program that helps people find freedom from life’s hurts, habits, and hang-ups. Unlike traditional recovery groups, it is built on biblical principles and the teachings of Jesus, while still following a 12-step framework similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. It’s open to anyone struggling with addiction, unhealthy behaviors, broken relationships, or emotional pain.

Weekly Meetings

Usually held at churches.

Start with a large group session that includes worship, a teaching on recovery principles, or a personal testimony.

Small Groups (“Open Share”)

After the large group, participants split into smaller, issue-specific groups (men/women separate).

Safe, confidential space to share struggles without judgment.
