What is Celebrate Recovery?
Our society is becoming more and more complex. Kids now have
three sets of grandparents. Sexual addiction for men and women is
growing at an exponential rate. Divorce is at an all time high — for
Christians.
This is our reality.
20 years ago, Saddleback Church launched Celebrate Recovery with
43 people. It was designed as a program to help those struggling
with hurts, habits and hang-ups by showing them the loving power
of Jesus Christ through a recovery process. Celebrate Recovery has
helped more than 17000 people at Saddleback, attracting over 70%
of its members from outside the church. Eighty-five percent of the
people who go through the program stay with the church and nearly
half serve as church volunteers. Celebrate Recovery is now in over
19,000 churches worldwide!
In Celebrate Recovery groups across Australia and the world only
one in three who participate in Celebrate Recovery are there for
drugs and alcohol.
So why are they there? They want to celebrate their recovery from
any kind of addictions — overeating, stress, worrying, sex, obsessive
compulsiveness, anger, depression and a multitude of life's hurts,
habits and hang-ups.
Be a part of this proven program that takes a Biblical approach to
overcoming addiction.
The Celebrate Recovery program involves 8 principles from the
beatitudes of the New Testament, and 12 biblical steps of recovery.
This program is distinctly Christian, uncompromisingly biblical, and
proven to work within the church. It has clearly brought people
together to discover a new level of care, acceptance, trust and grace.
And, for those who seek to mature spiritually, making better
decisions that will help them become Christ-like in character.
"Welcome to the 'Road to Recovery.' You are in for an exciting and
amazing journey as you take the hand of the true and only Higher
Power, Jesus Christ, and walk with Him toward healing and serenity."
— Pastor John Baker founder of Celebrate Recovery
