A recovery program based
 on
eight principles from
 the Beatitudes
Welcome to an Amazing
Spiritual Adventure!

Celebrate Recovery recognizes the importance of God’s healing power in our lives. Using the eight recovery principles found in the Beatitudes and Christ-centered 12 Steps people have the opportunity to experience lasting change. By sharing personal experiences, strengths and hopes with each other, people learn how to accept God’s grace in solving life’s problems.

By working the Christ-centered steps and applying their biblical principles found in the Beatitudes, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive, dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom enables us to experience peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.

Though it's sometimes difficult for us to admit, we have all lived less than perfect lives. Our good intentions have failed us again and again as we have hurt people, hurt ourselves and are left feeling that we are failures as Christians or even as human beings. As our compulsive or addictive behaviors progress we find ourselves trapped in habits which lead us on a treacherous path away from the peace and joy God desires for us. This may leave us feeling insecure, angry, frightened and without hope.

No matter what your hurts, habits, or hang ups may be there is hope! Celebrate Recovery offers a safe, welcoming, grace filled, Christ-centered fellowship. At Celebrate Recovery you will find many who are dealing with struggles similar to your own. You will also find a group of men and women who share your desire to be made whole.

The foundation of our recovery is our one and only higher power Jesus Christ. When we keep coming back and turn our will and our life over to Christ's care, in time our destructive behaviors loose their grip and we begin to embrace a new life, enjoying peace and serenity, trusting that God is guiding our life and our recovery.

Purpose Statement:

The purpose of Saddleback Church's Celebrate Recovery ministry is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the  "8 Recovery Principles."  This experience allows us to "be changed." 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 progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power.

John Baker's Testimony---
The only things my hurts, hang-ups and habits cost me were my close relationship with the Lord and my family.  You see, what I had considered the solution for my life's problem - alcohol - became the problem of my life!  And finally my drinking cost me all purpose and reason for living.  I was dying physically, emotionally, mentally, and most importantly spiritually!
