Celebrate Recovery at Mission City Church

What is Celebrate Recovery?
This program is unlike any recovery program you may have seen. Here are a few features that make it unique:

This recovery program is based on God’s Word, the Bible. When Jesus taught the Sermon on the Mount, he began by stating "Eight Ways to Be Happy." Today we call them the Beatitudes. From a conventional viewpoint, most of these statements didn’t make sense. They sounded like contradictions. But when you fully understand what Jesus is saying, you’ll realize that these eight principles are God’s road to recovery, wholeness, growth, and spiritual maturity. By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others...as we gain tools in recovery and apply them to everyday life, we learn to rely on our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power--Jesus Christ!

This recovery program is forward-looking.
This recovery program emphasizes personal responsibility.
This recovery program emphasizes spiritual commitment to Jesus Christ.
This recovery program utilizes the biblical truth that we need each other in order to grow spiritually and emotionally.

CELEBRATE RECOVERY IS:
A safe place to share.
A place for progress.
A place for healthy challenges and healthy risks.
A place to demonstrate genuine love.
A place where you can be yourself.

A quick fix.
