CR is a free 12-step program based on eight biblical principles and provides a process for individuals to heal. It teaches the fundamentals for family renewal, and encourages participants to become active members in their communities. CR was founded more than 17 years ago by Rick Warren (author of “The Purpose Driven Life”) and John Baker associate pastor at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., who sparked the empowering idea based on the work of Alcoholics Anonymous founder Bill Warren.
J.P. Freeman, lead pastor for the Congregational Christian Church, believes the CR biblically based program is an ideal way to reach out into the community and to bring healing to our homes.
He states, “Recovery programs like CR have helped me through trying times as a pastor and in my personal life. The principles in the CR programs help us grow spiritually, which brings freedom from addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. CR is a place for real people with real issues that can find real healing and freedom. The various components of CR offer healing to adults, children and teens and can reunite and strengthen our families and community.”
This unique program is built around small group interaction and the fellowship of a caring community. Celebrate Recovery and Celebration Station offers age-appropriate teachings based on the New Testament principle that as a community we support each other in our individual healing. Fellowship and accountability, exercised in a trusting and confidential environment, are two important components of spiritual growth. Worship, teaching and small group discussions focus on helping each person apply their faith in every facet of life, so they may experience first -hand the blessings of God.
