Unlock a discipleship solution that transforms healing into a shared mission, multiplying your capacity to care.
Expand Your Church’s Capacity to Care
Celebrate Recovery offers a proven, biblically-based, recovery ministry that addresses our Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits using a 12-step approach based on the Beatitudes from the book of Matthew. By giving you the tools and curriculum to train volunteer leaders, we help you multiply your church’s capacity to care, allowing your congregation to support one another in an authentic, healing community.
A Sustainable Solution for Lasting Change
You and your leadership team don’t have to carry the burden alone. Celebrate Recovery is designed to be more than just an addiction program; it is a core discipleship tool for the entire church. By bringing Celebrate Recovery to your congregation, you aren’t just adding another demanding task to your plate; you are actually reducing your pastoral care workload.
Our proven, Christ-centered model helps you:
Equip Your Congregation
CR empowers people to minister to one another, developing strong volunteer leaders directly from within the recovery community. People who find healing become equipped to shepherd others.
Provide a Biblically Grounded Framework
We utilize a 12-step approach and 8 Recovery Principles based directly on the Beatitudes from the book of Matthew, ensuring the ministry stays grounded in biblical truth.
Access Comprehensive Support
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. We provide step-by-step implementation guides, a structured curriculum, and ongoing coaching from regional representatives so your team is fully supported.
Let Celebrate Recovery help you transform your church into a safe place for people who are hurting, and where your community can experience freedom.
