Celebrate Recovery
Celebrate Recovery is a biblically-based, Christ-centered, 12-step program that helps people find hope and healing in all areas of life. This recovery program uniquely presents Jesus Christ as the only Higher Power able to set us free from all kinds of hurts, habits and hang-ups.
Celebrate Recovery is a year-round, ongoing ministry that meets Fridays at 7 pm. No registration is required. Participants may begin at any time.
Join us before the meeting every Friday for food and fellowship at 6 pm. Our large group meeting begins at 7 pm. At 8 pm we break into gender- and issue-specific groups. And we’ve got a group just for you! CR’s existing groups include a men’s life issues group, dealing with multiple men’s issues; a women's addiction group which is for any kind of addiction including food, relationship, drugs and alcohol; and a women’s codependency group.
Child care is available during Friday meetings by reservation only and must be made in advance by contacting Serena Evans at 972.547.7056 or .

The Road to Recovery
Celebrate Recovery’s Eight Recovery Principles
Based on the Beatitudes
- Realize I’m not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. (Step 1)
“Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.” - Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover. (Step 2)
“Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” - Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. (Step 3)
“Happy are the meek.” - Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. (Steps 4 and 5)
“Happy are the pure in heart.” - Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Steps 6 and 7)
“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires” - Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. (Steps 8 and 9)
“Happy are the merciful,”
“Happy are the peacemakers” - Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. (Steps 10 and 11)
- Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. (Step 12)
“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.”
