Celebrate Recovery

A typical Celebrate Recovery meeting includes:
A large group meeting
An open share small group
Newcomers 101 (for your first week only)

Participants are encouraged to invite their families and friends to the pre-meeting dinner if they so choose; the dinner is designed for a time of great fellowship and great food with other Celebrate Recovery participants.

The large group meeting is designed for the participant to set aside the busyness and stress of the outside world by entering into a time of prayer, praise and worship, and teaching as a way of getting in touch with the one and only Higher Power, Jesus Christ.

The open share small group meets immediately after the large group meeting and provides a place for the participant to connect with other Celebrate Recovery attendees. This is a safe place where participants can be in gender-specific groups and issue-specific groups.

Newcomers 101 is for first-time attendees and will help you better understand what Celebrate Recovery is all about as well as provide you the opportunity to ask questions or process your feelings in a safe environment before you make a commitment to a small group.

After you’ve attended Celebrate Recovery for a while, you will join a step study. The step study small group is for those who are ready to delve deeper into their past and the choices they have made. This is where participants will see real, lasting changes start to happen. Step studies take place another night of the week.

6:00 PM: Every night attendees are fed really good food. This allows everyone to fellowship and get to know each other better.

6:30 PM: After meal time, we will begin our Large Group portion of the service starting with great worship. We will then take part in celebrating with each other the COINS followed by the teaching for the night.

7:30 PM: We will break out into our small groups. Small group type and makeup can vary slightly depending on size of group and needs.

8:30 PM: Approximately around this time, the night will be over and all will be dismissed. This can vary a bit depending on how the night goes and more importantly on what God is doing and how He is moving on a particular night.
