Celebrate Recovery is a ministry based on biblical principles with a goal to let God work through us in providing His healing power through a Christ-centered 12-step program. This experience allows people to be changed spiritually by working through sound biblical principles. Participants open the door by sharing their experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition, they become willing to accept God's grace and forgiveness in solving life's problems. Celebrate Recovery provides a safe place for individuals to begin their journey of breaking out from their bondage and into God's grace (II Corinthians 12:9), by helping them to start dealing with their life's hurts, hang-ups, and habits.

Worship is a major strength and difference between Christ-centered and a secular recovery programs. Worship provides a time for everyone to put aside the busyness and hassles of the world and get in touch with the true Higher Power, Jesus Christ. It allows time for the power of the Holy Spirit to fill all those who attend with a peace and a safety that only He can provide. The main focus of every fellowship event is to help members develop healthy relationships that will grow into a support team of sponsors and accountability partners.

CR meetings begin with approximately 20-30 minutes of high energy worship, a short time for announcements, and a thirty minute teaching or testimony.

First West is excited to bring this very successful program from Rick Warren and Saddleback church to the area. Individuals with 12-step experience are encouraged to pray if God is calling them to be a part of this new ministry.
