What is Celebrate Recovery?

Celebrate Recovery (CR) is a biblically-based recovery program that addresses our Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits using a 12-step approach rooted in the Beatitudes from the book of Matthew. CR leaders understand your struggles, as they have experienced freedom from addictive and dysfunctional patterns in their own lives.  They have been trained to guide people through the 12 Steps/8 Principles, and to provide a safe environment for accountability and building authentic relationships. 

By combining faith, accountability, and community support, Celebrate Recovery provides a safe place to overcome life’s struggles, including addiction, grief, anger, anxiety, depression, codependency, and so much more.  

Who Is It For? 

Celebrate Recovery welcomes anyone struggling with a hurt, hang-up, or habit:

  • Hurts: grief, abuse, trauma, and loss  

  • Hang-ups: anger, fear, anxiety, depression, codependency  

  • Habits: destructive patterns or unhealthy 

  • Addiction: alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, pornography, …

No matter your background, our Christ-centred recovery program offers hope, healing, and community support. 

Is This Where You Are Right Now? 

Do You Have a Hurt, Hang-Up, or Habit?

Take a moment to reflect:

You’ve Tried, But Something Isn’t Changing…

  • You’ve tried to change, but it hasn’t worked
  • Life feels overwhelming or out of control
  • Peace or serenity feels out of reach
  • You find yourself trying to fix or control others

Your Relationships Feel Strained…

  • Conflict, confusion, or distance keeps showing up
  • You feel anger, loneliness, resentment, or fear
  • Shame or low self-worth weighs you down
  • The same painful patterns keep repeating

Your Faith Feels Like a Struggle…

  • You want to believe, but feel stuck
  • Trusting God fully is difficult
  • Your prayers feel unanswered
  • You feel spiritually empty or disconnected

You’re Carrying More Than You Show…

  • You’ve been hiding your pain
  • You feel hurt when others don’t respond the way you hoped
  • You’re realizing you can’t do this on your own
  • Deep down, you know something needs to change
