Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery program based on the Beatitudes.
It is currently being used in over 3500 churches nationwide, and
internationally. Celebrate Recovery addresses many of life's hurts,
habits, and hang-ups. The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to
fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the
12 steps and 8 Recovery Principles. This experience allows us to "be
changed". We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths, and
hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God's
grace in solving our lives' problems.
By working and applying these Biblical
principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our
addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom
creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal
relationship with God and others.
You may be thinking that recovery is just for
those with alcohol or drug problems. We've found that only one-third of
the people attending Celebrate Recovery are dealing with chemical
dependencies. As Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church says, "We
all have sinned, we've all fallen short, we've all been hurt, and we've
all hurt others. Everybody needs recovery." All of life's hurts,
habits, and hang-ups are addressed through this one curriculum. Small
groups that Calvary Temple's Celebrate Recovery currently has are:
- Chemical Dependency For Men and Women
- Codependency For Women
- Codependency/Adult Children of Family Dysfunction For Men
- Freedom From Sexual/Physical/Emotional Abuse
- Freedom From Sexual Addiction For Men
- Freedom From Anger For Men
- Food Addiction/Eating Disorders For Women
Hurts, Habits, and Hang-Ups
A hurt, habit, or hang-up is something that
hinders your walk with God. The feeling of being HURT is an emotional
reaction to another person's behavior or to a disturbing situation.
(Abuse, abandonment, codependency, divorce, relationship issues, etc.)
A HABIT is an addiction to someone or something.
(Alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex, shopping, smoking, etc.)
HANG-UPS are negative mental attitudes that are used to cope with people of adversity.
(Anger, depression, fear, unforgiveness, etc.)
These life problems can be stumbling blocks or stepping stones.
Healing is available through applying the principles of a Bible based recovery process to our lives.
