Celebrate Recovery
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered and Bible-based 12 Step Recovery Program. This tried and proven recovery system uses the traditional methods of issue groups, sponsors, accountability partners and special occasions to build recovery for those struggling with addictive habits, codependency, childhood hurts and other life experiences that affect our peace. In Celebrate Recovery groups, the walking wounded study, pray, share and take the steps necessary to experience a better life.
