Celebrate Recovery is a 12-step program that focuses on Jesus Christ as the higher power through whom we are led toward recovery from all manner of hurts, habits and hang-ups.

We gather as Christians who struggle with co-dependency, anger, food addiction, abuse, pride, sexual addiction, substance abuse, depression, self-harm, childhood abuse, relationship abuse, trauma, and more.

Our purpose is to focus on God’s healing power through fellowship with others. By working the 12 Steps and the 8 Principles, people are able to open up, tell their story and explore new beginnings. In this way, we become willing to accept God’s grace in leading us toward healing and wholeness, Celebrate Recovery at University is held every Monday on the North Campus. We eat and gather in the Solid Rock Café then worship in Student Worship Center.

In this weekly programming, you will find food, worship, teachings, testimonials, fellowship and support for anyone dealing with hurts, habits or hang-ups.  Please join us and experience the peace and freedom that comes from a deep and abiding personal relationship with the one true higher power, Jesus Christ

CELEBRATE RECOVERY’S EIGHT RECOVERY PRINCIPLES
The Road to Recovery
Based on the Beatitudes

Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. (Step 1)

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

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover. (Step 2)

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

Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. (Step 3)

  “Happy are the meek.”

Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. (Steps  4 and 5)

  “Happy are the pure in heart.”

Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Steps 6 and 7)

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

Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. (Steps 8 and 9)

  “Happy are the merciful.”   “Happy are the peacemakers”

Reserve a time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. (Steps 10 and 11)

Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words. (Step 12)

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