      Celebrate Recovery

      Purpose Statement

      To help people find freedom from hurts, habits and hang-ups including addictions, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors.

      WHAT IS CELEBRATE RECOVERY?

      Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. We all have hurts and if we don’t walk through them authentically with Jesus, we can get hung-up and pursue destructive habits. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to work through them. This Jesus-centered 12 step program is open to anyone looking for freedom.

      Celebrate Recovery has helped more than 17,000 people at Saddleback, attracting over 70% of its members from outside the church. Eighty-five percent of the people who go through the program stay with the church and nearly half serve as church volunteers. Celebrate Recovery is now in over 37,000 churches worldwide!

      WHAT HAPPENS AT CELEBRATE RECOVERY?

      There are 3 main components that make up the Celebrate Recovery program:

      LARGE GROUP – This is where everyone meets together to hear either a recovery centered Teaching or a personal Testimony of a changed life. We consider this a “shoulder to shoulder” experience.

      OPEN SHARE – This is the time we break into separate gender and issue specific groups where each person is safe to share their struggles and victories with others who share their similar hurts, hang-ups and habits. We consider this a “face to face” experience.

      STEP STUDY – It has been said that “you go to a meeting to feel better, but you work the steps to get better”. Step Studies are a safe place to work through the Jesus-centered 12 Steps in a gender specific group. They are a minimum one-year commitment and meet on different nights of the week. It’s a place where the “why” behind addictions and behavior can finally be uncovered and freedom can be found. We consider this a “heart to heart” experience.

      The Landing is not currently meeting but will be relaunching in January of 2023

      For more information contact crinfo@saddleback.com. Please select a campus below for Celebrate Recovery information for individual campuses.
