Celebrate Recovery

Do you have a hurt, habit, or hang-up that either gets you into trouble or hinders your life in some way? We all do. The truth is, you may not even know what it is yet.

"Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. We all have hurts and if we don’t walk through them authentically with Jesus, we can get hung-up and pursue destructive habits. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to work through them. This Jesus-centered 12 step program is open to anyone looking for freedom."

Celebrate Recovery helps identify your root causes, gives you the tools, and surrounds you with a community to help you live in freedom while keeping anonymity and confidentiality a priority in creating a safe place to be.

What CR has done for me

“Celebrate Recovery has taken the shell of a person I once was, devoid of emotion from all my past hurts, and shown me how to overcome those hurts. I was lost and alone but feel loved and free as I walked with Christ and learned through CR the steps to freedom. Thank you God for showing me the way out of my past and into a future bright with you and a community accepting and loving of me.”-Cheryl

Robert's Ministry Leader Message

Greetings, beloved members of our church family,

I am writing to share a glimpse of my transformative journey through Celebrate Recovery, a ministry that has been a profound source of healing and restoration in my life.

Before I found my way to Celebrate Recovery, my existence was marred by the haunting echoes of abandonment. The seeds of rejection were planted deep within my soul, as both of my biological parents left an indelible mark on my life. The pain of abandonment manifested in various ways, leading me down a path of brokenness and despair.

As a survivor of childhood sexual molestation, I carried the weight of a heavy burden that seemed impossible to shake. The scars of this trauma, coupled with a relentless porn addiction, created a cycle of shame and guilt that left me feeling trapped and isolated. Additionally, nicotine addiction, depression, and codependency further entangled me in a web of self-destructive behaviors.

Enter Celebrate Recovery—a ministry that became a beacon of hope and healing in my life. Through the power of God working in and through this community, I began to confront the deep-seated wounds of abandonment and rejection. The love and acceptance I found within Celebrate Recovery provided a safe space to share my pain and take the first steps toward healing.

God's transformative work in my life through Celebrate Recovery was nothing short of miraculous. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, I experienced freedom from the chains of nicotine and pornography addiction. The heavy burden of depression began to lift as I surrendered my struggles to the One who could truly bring lasting peace.

In facing and dealing with my codependency tendencies, I discovered healthy ways to relate to others and build meaningful connections. Celebrate Recovery became a community of support and encouragement, guiding me toward a life of wholeness and purpose.

Today, I stand before you as a testimony to the redeeming power of God and the incredible impact of Celebrate Recovery. My journey from brokenness to wholeness is a testament to the life-changing work this ministry facilitates.

If you or someone you know is grappling with hurts, hang-ups, or habits, I encourage you to consider the transformative journey of Celebrate Recovery. It is a place where brokenness is met with compassion, and healing is found through the love of Christ.

May we continue to be a church family that embraces the broken, walks alongside the hurting, and celebrates the recovery that is possible through the grace of our Lord.

Blessings,
Robert Salgado

Celebrate Recovery's Eight Recovery Principles

The Road to Recovery Based on the Beatitudes

Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. (Step 1)
“Happy are those who know that they are spiritually poor.” Matthew 5:3a TEV

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover. (Step 2)
“Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4 TEV, NIV

Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. (Step 3)
“Happy are the meek.” Matthew 5:5a TEV
Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. (Steps 4 and 5)
“Happy are the pure in heart.” Matthew 5:8a TEV

Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Steps 6 and 7)
“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires” Matthew 5:6a TEV

Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. (Steps 8 and 9)
“Happy are the merciful.” Matthew 5:7a TEV; “Happy are the peacemakers” Matthew 5:9 TEV

Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. (Steps 10 and 11)

Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words. (Step 12)
“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.” Matthew 5:10 TEV
Serenity Prayer

Prayer for Serenity

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.

FAQ

The "church" is not a building. The "church" is the people who have committed themselves to Christ and a local family of believers. It really doesn't matter where we meet, but why we meet. We have a building. But, that is only one place we meet. We also meet in homes, businesses, and on street corners throughout the week. The church is wherever we as followers of Jesus gather to honor Him.
