Contact Celebrate Recovery @ FBC

Celebrate Recovery is a recovery ministry based on biblical principles with a goal to let God work through us in providing His healing power through a Christ-centered 12 Step program. This experience allows people to be "changed" spiritually by working through sound biblical principles. Participants open the door by sharing their experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition, they become willing to accept God's grace and forgiveness in solving life's problems. Celebrate Recovery provides a safe place for individuals to begin their journey of breaking out from their bondage and into God's grace (2 Corinthians 12:9), by helping them to start dealing with their life's hurts, hang-ups, and habits.

And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness " Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. - 2 Corinthians 12:9

Tuesday Night Agenda:

Join us as we all gather together for a time of worship, praise, testimonies and teaching on the twelve steps as well as the 8 recovery principles. We also use this time to celebrate the life changing decisions, and lengths of recovery by those who attend. Everyone is welcome!

 At th l i f l ti the conclusion of our large group meeting, we will break up into gender specific groups for more in-depth discussions. The gender specific open share groups will provide more in-depth sharing of struggles. Teachings from the large group meeting or devotional readings will be used to initiate sharing. These meetings take place in various classrooms up in The Harbor. Participants are encouraged to comment, read or even just listen. Everyone is welcome to come, and you will never be pressured to participate. We use only the CR material. No outside material is allowed to be used or shared with the group.

Join others for a time of fellowship, coffee and snacks after the open share group time. It is an excellent way to unwind, relax and get to know others better. Many use this time to connect with a sponsor, volunteer to help, or get more questions answered.

If you are new to Celebrate Recovery or a guest, we invite you to stick around after the Large Group session. In the same room that the Large Group is held in, you will receive a brief introduction to CR through a short video, discussion of our meeting format, and some personal testimonies. There is no obligation to share. Just join us and find out about CR, ask questions, and determine if it is a good fit for you.
