Jeff Lewis leads our Celebrate Recovery ministry, whose purpose is to encourage fellowship and to celebrate God’s healing power in our lives as we work our way along the road to recovery. We are changed as we share our experiences, strength and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace and forgiveness in solving our life’s problems.
Celebrate Recovery is a twelve-Step biblically based program which focuses on principles from the Beatitudes. Jesus teaches us that we shall be truly happy when our greatest desire is to do what God requires. For many, the understanding that they lived less than perfect lives traps them in a perpetual circle of compulsive, addictive and dysfunctional behaviors. Our communities and our churches are filled with those who have never known, or perhaps have known but lost the peace and joy that God desires for them. The cry of hopelessness and pain echoes all around us. “Is this all there is to my life?” To that cry, we return one of our own, “Hang on, for there is hope!” Celebrate Recovery ministers to those who bring their hurts, hang-ups and habits to the place of healing and new life in Christ.
This program is unlike the conventional 12 step programs because it is based on Jesus’ words and he being our Higher Power. In addition it is not just for people suffering from addiction issues. Celebrate Recovery can help us with all of life’s hurts, hang-ups and habits. Please see our list of issues on the following page.
