Who Needs It?

  • Anyone ready to start a new life
  • The churched and the un-churched
  • Men and women
  • The addicted and their families
  • The guilty, sad, or compulsive
  • Anyone in need of recovery

Who Leads It?

Celebrate Recovery is conducted by Christians who have been through 12-step recovery themselves.  We understand.
Many have been dealt tragic blows in their lives.  Our choices cause painful and lingering consequences, leading to guilt, remorse, grief, and shame. Our leaders truly understand and lead others.
