Celebrate Recovery
CR as it is affectionately known, can more accurately be called Celebrate Life Recovery. Life is messy and hard! Full of tough decisions, unwanted choices and never-ending temptation to cope in unhealthy ways.Therefore, at CR we don't shout from the high road or pretend that with God life is not painful. Instead, we admit that as believers in Christ Jesus we do make mistakes, sometimes take the wrong road and often get stuck asking, "Where are you (God) in all this?". At CR, we believe God is bigger than all our hurts! Being full of grace and mercy, His greatest desire is to live fully intimate with us. In our humanness we struggle to believe WE ARE the object of His love and forgiveness. Why would He want you or me? Maybe, regret fills your life, too? At CR, we're celebrating recovery from this life by coming just as we are- broken, hopeless, stuck, wounded, helpless, desperate for change and together seeking out renewal from the disappointments of this life by a real God. In short, we are real people with real issues having faith in a real God. Struggling with faith? We understand that too!!! We look forward to meeting you and sharing in the journey we call Life.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. " James 1:5
