Celebrate Recovery

more about CR

Tracy Richardson

Ministry Lead for CR

We celebrate freedom from life's hurts, hang-ups, and habits through Christ-centered principles.

We seek to serve God by reaching out to others so they can step out of denial into God's grace, by helping them get right with God,

with themselves and with others, and by allowing them to grow in Christ while serving others.

The Landing is designed to help hurting teenagers get closer to Jesus as they learn key principles and habits to live a freer, healthier, and more God-honoring life. The Landing program is an ongoing 52-week program based on the Beatitudes of Jesus. Teenagers will develop a deeper relationship with Jesus as they find answers to their hurts, hang-ups and habits.

 At The Landing, teenagers are not merely spectators in their recovery journey ... but active participants who talk through and explore new ways of thinking and doing.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT CELEBRATE RECOVERY?

A large group meeting

The large group meeting is designed for the participant to set aside the busyness and stress of the outside world by entering into a time of prayer, praise and worship, and teaching as a way of getting in touch with the one and only Higher Power, Jesus Christ.

An open share small group

All open share small groups meet immediately after the large group meeting and provide a place for the participant to connect with other Celebrate Recovery attendees. This is a safe place where participants can be in gender- and issue-specific groups.

Newcomers 101 (your first week only)

Newcomers 101 is for first-time attendees and will help you better understand what Celebrate Recovery is all about as well as provide you the opportunity to ask questions or process your feelings in a safe environment before you select to attend a small group.

Step Study

After you’ve attended Celebrate Recovery for a while, you may want to join a step study. The step study small group is for those who are ready to delve deeper into their past and the choices they have made. This is where participants will see real, lasting changes start to happen. Step studies take place another night of the week and meet weekly for 11 months.

Child Care

At Celebrate Recovery, child care is free (infant through 5th grade) and Celebration Place provides an uplifting, hope-filled, children's companion to Celebrate Recovery.

Will celebrate recover work?

Since the beginning of time, men and women have searched for happiness — usually in all the wrong places, trying all the wrong things. But there’s only one place where we can find tested-and-proven, absolutely-gonna-work principles that will lead to healing and happiness. These principles come in the form of eight statements from the truest of all books — the Bible — and from the most revered Teacher of all time — Jesus Christ. Jesus laid out these principles for happiness in the Sermon on the Mount in the gospel of Matthew, chapter 5. Today we call them “the Beatitudes.”

Change, Jesus says, can be ours, but the pathway to change and happiness may not be exactly what we’re expecting. From a conventional viewpoint, most of the following eight statements don’t make sense. At first they even sound like contradictions. But when you fully understand what Jesus is saying, you’ll realize these eight statements are God’s pathway to wholeness, growth, and spiritual maturity.

“Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.”

  • “Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”

  • “Happy are the meek.”

  • “Happy are the pure in heart.”

  • “Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.”

  • “Happy are those who are merciful.”

  • “Happy are those who work for peace.”

  • “Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.”

The power to change comes only from God’s grace. In Principle 1 we start working and living this program in earnest. When we admit we’re powerless, we go on to recognize that we need a power greater than ourselves to restore us. That power is the one and only true Higher Power, Jesus Christ.
