Is your life out-of-control, a struggle, unmanageable, and even consumed by some hurt or habit? divorce? personal significance? grief? anger? sexual, physical, or emotional abuse? a chemical or food dependency?
Do you sense the wrong in your life? Do you believe that “time heals all wounds?” The truth is TIME OFTEN MAKES THINGS WORSE! Wounds not dealt with fester and spread infection throughout the entire body.
Celebrate Recovery is designed as a program to help those struggling with hurts, habits and hang-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through a recovery process.
This balanced program is based on 8 recovery principles and the 12 steps. By working and applying these principles, we begin to grow spiritually and we become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, hope, joy, the ability to develop healthy relationships with others, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with our loving and forgiving Higher Power.

Small Groups
Compulsive Behaviors and Addiction
(Individual Men’s and Women’s Groups)
Are you struggling with an addiction to drugs, alcohol, or food? Do you struggle with a compulsion to shop, or the need to be in a relationship? Do you find that an addictive or compulsive behavior has taken control of your life?
Then, this is the group for you! We will learn to listen, encourage, and support one another in our journey to recovery from our addictive and compulsive behaviors as we discover to think in new ways. Join us as we share the hope and freedom that Jesus Christ, our Higher Power, has given us to overcome our struggles.
Anger and Co-dependency
(Individual Men’s and Women’s Groups)
This group is for individuals who constantly seek approval and affirmation, struggle with the compulsion to control, rescue or take care of others, have difficulty setting boundaries and recognizing their self worth. In addition, this group is for those who find that anger is their first response to problems. The anger may be through rage, withdrawal, and isolation. These groups focus on directing a God-given emotion constructively and learning new ways to manage relationships.
Co-Dependency, Fear and Depression
(Individual Women’s Group)
This group is for women who struggle with the need to please others at their own expense, values, desires, or sense of worth. Fear is a driving force in their lives and depressive thoughts have been a controlling influence leading to feelings of insecurity and hopelessness. This group will provide a safe place to express hidden feelings by providing a platform for sharing. Additionally, members will learn how to express their own needs in healthy ways and discover their identity in Christ.
Physical, Emotional, and Sexual Abuse
(Women’s Group)
This is a group for women who have endured past physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. Recovery includes healing from the trauma done to us, as well as healing from the influence that these past experiences continue to have in our lives.
Sexual Issues, Struggles & Addictions
(Men’s Group)
This is a group for men seeking recovery from lust and compulsive sexual behaviors. This group provides fellowship, is a safe place to share our struggles, pain, and victories, and helps to establish accountability and mutual support among the group members throughout the week.
Compulsive Overeating & Food Addiction
(Women’s Group)
Do you eat when you are not hungry? Is your weight affecting the way you live your life? Do you give too much time and thought to food? Do you overeat by bingeing or by grazing continuously? Is food your friend? If you answer ‘yes’ to three or more of these questions then this group is for you.
Family of Those Who Struggle with Addictions
(Women’s Group)
The family problem of addiction made us “co-victims”—those who take on the characteristics of the addict without necessarily ever taking a drink, or using. Choosing to recognize and exit the modeled behaviors is the beginning of our recovery.
Women Affected by Sexual Addiction and Betrayal
(Women’s Group)A group for women whose spouse is currently having or has had an affair or is addicted to pornography or inappropriate sexual behaviors. Our group provides a safe place to share our fear, hurt or anger and encouragement to find peace, strength and grace in the Lord Jesus Christ.
