Celebrate Recovery St. Stephen

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-based recovery program that helps us experience freedom and victory over the habits, hurts, and hang ups that keep us from enjoying the life God intends. You're invited to drop in and join us on Monday evenings from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm at the Neighbourhood Works building.

Who is Celebrate Recovery for?

CR is meant for anyone with any habit, hurt, or hang up. It includes participants who have anxiety, work too much, overspend, are dealing with lust or addictions (substance, behavioural, sexual, etc.), have anger issues, and more. There are stories of people overcoming struggles in all of these areas and finding freedom because of Jesus.

What Happens at Celebrate Recovery?

CR meets every Monday at 6:30 PM. It begins with a large group service for worship and teaching. Afterward, there are optional “open share” groups that meet to share about our areas of struggle. And it wraps up with a great time of fellowship.

Does CR provide counselling?

CR is a place where people support one another, but it is not designed to be a counselling service. The leaders are not licensed counsellors, psychologists, or therapists, nor are the members. It is up to the participants to set up any outside counselling when they’re ready.
