 Next Meeting – May 15th

   7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall

The Celebrate Recovery program was created to help people overcome life’s hurts, habits and hang-ups by providing a biblical and balanced program to help them deal with issues like abuse, addiction, grief, depression, and anger through 8 principles based on the Beatitudes of the New Testament, and 12 biblical steps to recovery.

This program is distinctly Christian, uncompromisingly biblical, and proven to work within the church.  It has clearly brought people together to discover a new level of care, acceptance, trust and grace;  and, for those who seek to mature spiritually, making better decisions that will help them become Christ-like in character.

Wednesdays
6:30 – 8:00 p.m.

Separation and divorce are one of the most painful and stressful experiences people face.  It’s a confusing time when you feel isolated and have lots of questions about issues you’ve never faced before.

Divorce Care groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.  If you or someone you know has been affected by divorce, we invite you to try Divorce Care.
