2 Corinthians 12:9
Bill & Jan Bender, Celebrate Recovery Co-leaders
Living in a broken world, we all deal with life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits. No one has the ability, nor should they attempt, to face their hurts on their own. Celebrate Recovery is a beautiful community of hope-filled Christians that courageously enter this welcoming and safe place to get honest about our pain, and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God, and others. In this process, we come to accept that some of the habits we may have developed to escape our pain have caused issues, even destruction, in our lives and those close to us.
Celebrate Recovery is a Biblically balanced approach to help bring sustainable recovery and healing to our hurts or negative behaviors. It guides us toward new healthy truths and life-giving habits as we repair our self-image, doubts, and broken relationships. Join more than 7 million people across the globe who now walk in freedom through the power of Jesus Christ, as we walk through the 8 principles of Celebrate Recovery based on the Beatitudes in Matthew 5.
