Celebrate Recovery
Though it is 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 often left feeling that we are failures as Christians or even as human beings. No matter what your hurts, habits, or hang-ups, there is HOPE!! Celebrate Recovery offers a safe, welcoming, grace-filled, Christ-centered fellowship. At CR 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. Join us each Thursday evening for welcoming fellowship, lively worship, inspirational teaching and honest testimonies that will strengthen and support you on the road to recovery!!
