At the Cross Church is using the Celebrate Recovery curriculum for their Kingdom of Hope and Recovery Ministry. A 12 step recovery program for both men and women.We believe that the Celebrate Recovery curriculum is a great tool to help those in need of recovery. We believe that there is hope in the recovery process of any type addiction. We know that through Jesus we have an identity of more than conquerors
Yet in all these things we are more then conquerors through Him who loved us
Romans 8:37
Monday’s 7:00 P.M.
Living in denial is living dishonestly. How many times have we lied to ourselves and others saying “I can stop anytime I want to”! or “I have the right to choose how I live my own life” or “My behavior doesn’t affect anyone but me”! But, guess what, it does affect the people who love you, and no, you can’t stop anytime you want to or you wouldn’t be in the mess you are in right now!
But we’re here to tell you that there is freedom of addiction because we believe and know a God that walked on water, made the blind see, healed the sick and He walked out of a tomb after being dead for three days, His name is Jesus. Kingdom of Hope and Recovery teaches people how to walk in Christ Jesus and through our identity in Him, where there’s power over addiction.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
2 Corinthians 5:17
Freedom from the bondage of addiction.
The DNA of an authentic Celebrate Recovery® Ministry.
1. Jesus Christ is the one and only Higher Power. The program is a Christ-centered ministry.
2. The Bible* and Celebrate Recovery curriculum consisting of the Leader’s Guide, four Participant’s Guides, and the Celebrate Recovery Journal are to be used exclusively. The Large Group lessons are taught from the Leader’s Guide, keeping at least the acrostic and the Scriptures as the key points in the lessons. This is to keep consistency within groups, allowing teachers to be creative with the introduction and conclusion of each lesson.
* Use of the Celebrate Recovery Bible is strongly encouraged due to the fact that it is the only Bible that directly corresponds to the Celebrate Recovery curriculum. The Celebrate Recovery Bible has been designed to work with the resources developed and tested in the national and international ministry of Celebrate Recovery. The Celebrate Recovery Bible on Kindle, iBooks and Nook are also approved curriculum.
3. The ministry is “group based.” All groups are gender specific and use the Small Group Guidelines and format.
4. There are NO online Celebrate Recovery groups. Face-to-face group meetings ONLY.
5. The Celebrate Recovery “Five Small Group Guidelines” are implemented and followed every time.
6. We expect each group to be accountable to Christ, At The Cross church pastors and leaders.
