Celebrate Recovery
The purpose of the New Life Assembly of God Celebrate Recovery ministry is to provide a safe and healing place where acceptance is the norm; to receive loving affirmation and recovery from our hurts, habits and hang ups.
Hurts: An emotional reaction to another person’s behavior or to a disturbing situation (abuse, abandonment, codependency, divorce, relationship issues, etc.)
Habits: An addiction to someone or something (alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex, shopping, smoking, etc.)
Hang-Ups: A negative mental attitude that is used to cope with people or adversity (anger, depression, fear, unforgiveness, etc.)
The purpose of these groups is to allow us to become free from life’s hurts, hang ups, and habits. By working through the eight recovery principles found in the Beatitudes with Jesus Christ as your Higher Power, you can and will change. You will begin to experience the true peace and serenity you have been seeking, and you will no longer have to rely on your dysfunctional, compulsive, and addictive behaviors as a temporary “fix” for your pain.
The Celebrate Recovery 4 Participant’s Guides and Celebrate Recovery Bible are utilized in these groups. You may purchase these materials at the New Life Assembly Church during weekend services or on Monday night between 6-8pm in the Worship Center.
