Welcome to Celebrate Recovery!
The purpose of the Celebrate Recovery ministry is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the 8 Recovery Principles.
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.
Come join us and find out more how you can receive God’s miracle of healing in your life.

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
by Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
Weekly Bible Verses
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s
mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls
around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know
that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the
same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal
glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself
restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
