Join us at 5:00PM in the Coffee Shop on August 9th for the information session on our new ministry!
Our Mission:
Celebrate Freedom is dedicated to helping people find freedom and continue walking in it.
Our Purpose:
Celebrate Freedom is a place for you to feel fully known and fully loved without judgement or shame. Our recovery community offers a safe, welcoming, and Christ-centered fellowship. We want you to know that no matter what your hurts, habits, or hang-ups may be… there is hope. At Celebrate Freedom, you will find many who are dealing with struggles similar to your own and share your desire to be made whole. Celebrate Freedom utilizes the Celebrate Recovery curriculum which includes the Eight Biblical Recovery Principles and the 12 steps to help people find freedom and continue walking in it.
RECOVERY:
a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength
The Road To Recovery:
Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. “Happy are those who know that they are spiritually poor.” Matthew 5:3a TEV
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.” Matthew 5:4 TEV, NIV
Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. “Happy are the meek.” Matthew 5:5a TEV
Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. “Happy are the pure in heart.” Matthew 5:8a TEV
Voluntarily submit to any and all changes 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” Matthew 5:6a TEV
Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. “Happy are the merciful.” Matthew 5:7a TEV; “Happy are the peacemakers” Matthew 5:9 TEV
Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, 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 my words. “Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.” Matthew 5:10 TEV
Prayer for Serenity
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.
