Welcome to Celebrate Recovery!

Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find community and freedom from issues that are controlling our lives. Join us on Mondays at 7pm at our Lynnhaven Campus or Tuesdays at 7pm at our Norfolk Campus!

Is Recovery for me? Do you…

  • Sacrifice your identity, desires, or needs to make others feel good about themselves or to keep the peace
  • Use food, alcohol, relationships, pornography, or drugs to cope with life’s problems?
  • Blame others for your problems?
  • Become impatient easily and get annoyed quickly?
  • Love someone struggling with destructive behaviors such as drugs and alcohol?
  • Struggle looking for a safe place to share what is happening in your life with full anonymity and confidentiality because you serve in the military or are the spouse of a military member?
  • Feel frustrated when trying to explain your life experiences because of your previous or current military service?

What is a Step Study?

Step Studies are the heart of the Celebrate Recovery program and provide a safe pathway to a healing journey. A step study is a 6-9 month period of self-evaluation, leading participants to freedom.

By working through the 4 Participant’s Guides and CR Bible, you will:

  • Begin to experience the true peace and serenity you have been seeking.

  • Restore and develop stronger relationships with others and God.

  • Find freedom from life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits of the past, present, and future.
