Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.

"Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor"

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to him, and that he has the power to help me recover. "Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted"

Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control. "Happy are the meek"

Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to someone I trust. "Happy are the pure in heart"

Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. "Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires"

Evaluate all my relationships; Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others except when to do so would harm them or others. "Happy are the merciful" "Happy are the peacemakers"

Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible readings and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.

Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. "Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires"

Billy Godwin, Pastor

I am excited about what God can do in your life through Celebrate Recovery. We all need a place where we can let our guard down and share what’s really going on in our hearts and lives. We all need a place where we can find help from God’s Word and get the answers we need to overcome issues in our lives.

God intended for us to be there for one another. He never intended us to live lives on our own in isolation from others. Those who try to deal with the struggles of life without support, encouragement, and accountability know how difficult, and even impossible, it can be.

God is the great Healer, but He typically uses others in the healing process. The fact is there are some issues you may never be able to truly overcome without help from others. If you find you are continually struggling with the same issues, it’s time to get some help.

The good news is that help is available! Through Celebrate Recovery, you will find a place to connect, to find answers, and to get the support you need.

Try it out!
