St. Paul's Lutheran Church - "Where Jesus is Lord, Everybody is Somebody and Faith is an Adventure."
Living in a broken world we all deal with life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits. No one has the ability, nor should they attempt to face their hurts on their own. Celebrate Recovery is a beautiful community of strugglers that courageously enter this safe and beautiful space to get honest about our pain, and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God and others. In this process we come to accept that some of the habits we may have developed to escape our pain has caused destruction in our life and those close to us.
Our Celebrate Recovery ministry is a biblically balanced approach to help bring sustainable recovery and healing to anyone with hurts, habits, hangups or addiction of any kind that is controlling your life. It guides you toward new healthy truths and life-giving habits as you repair your broken relationships.
​
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, Bible-based, twelve-step, eight-principle ministry of recovery that was designed to help people reconnect with God and heal from past hurt and pain. Similar to other twelve-step programs, Celebrate Recovery is an anonymous place to share your experience and struggles and gain hope for your future. It aligns Biblical phrases with the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.Along with the twelve steps, the meetings also follow these eight principles:
Realize I’m not God.
​
Earnestly believe that God exists and that He has the power to help me recover.
​
Consciously choose to commit my will to Christ’s care.
​
Openly examine my faults.
​
Voluntarily submit to all changes God wants me to make in my life.
​
Evaluate all of my relationships.
​
Reserve a time with God daily for self-examination.
​
Yield myself to God to bring this Good News to others.
​
​Celebrate Recovery puts a strong emphasis on personal responsibility. You realize you cannot control everything that happens, but you can control how you respond to things.
Spiritual commitment to Jesus Christ is emphasized in this recovery ministry. For lasting recovery, people must make a total surrender of their lives to Christ. Celebrate Recovery is completely evangelistic regarding their belief that everybody needs Jesus.
Celebrate Recovery is built around the fellowship of small group interaction meetings where participants share their experiences, challenges, and successes. It is built around the principle of the New Testament that we need each other and cannot get well by ourselves. According to biblical truth, in order to grow emotionally and spiritually, we need each other.
