Celebrate Recovery

My husband Jason and I are launching a Celebrate Recovery ministry at our home church, Road to Life, January 2023. Celebrate Recovery started in 1991 at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. John Baker wrote Pastor Rick Warren the “now-famous, concise, 13-page, single-spaced” letter outlining the vision God had given John for Celebrate Recovery. This ministry is currently being offered in over 37,000 churches worldwide. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find community and freedom from the issues that are controlling our life. 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. Celebrate recovery is a biblically balanced approach to help bring sustainable recovery and healing to our hurts. It guides us toward new healthy truths and life-giving habits as we repair our broken relationships. Join more than 7 million hurting people across the globe who now walk in freedom through the power of Jesus Christ as we walk through the 8 principles of celebrate recovery based on the Beatitudes in Matthew 5.
