Celebrate Recovery at NewLife Church

6:00 PM - 8:30 PM

NewLife Celebrate Recovery meets every Tuesday evening and provides a healing, healthy environment for adults seeking to overcome hurts, hang-ups and habits. Tuesday Nights Weekly Dinner at 5:45pm Large Group at 6:30 PM Open Share Groups at 7:30 PM What is Celebrate Recovery? Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to address destructive or compulsive behaviors, unhealthy relationships, addictions (drugs, alcohol, food, pornography, etc.), anger, shame, codependency (addiction to people and control), past abuse and so much more. People can find freedom from any hurt, hang-up, or habit that is making their life unmanageable. What happens at Celebrate Recovery? There are 3 main components that make up the Celebrate Recovery Program: Large Group – This is where everyone meets together to hear either a recovery centered teaching or a personal testimony of a changed life. Open Share – This is the time we break into separate gender specific groups where each person is safe to share their struggles and victories with others who share their similar hurts, hang-ups and habits. Step Study – Step Studies are a safe place to work through the Jesus-centered 12 Steps in a gender specific group. They are a minimum 9 month to one-year commitment and meet on different days of the week. It's a place where the “why” behind addictions and behavior can finally be uncovered and freedom can be found. Do I have to join/register for the group to attend? Absolutely not. Being a member will give you more access to the calendar, resources, and email reminders about events that are coming up though. We hope that regardless of you joining or not through this page, that you join us!
