Care · Celebrate Recovery
Hurts. Habits. Hang-ups.
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, twelve-step program for anyone walking through something they cannot walk through alone. Meets at New Hope every Thursday night.
What CR is
A room where nobody is keeping score.
Celebrate Recovery is the national program created by Saddleback Church in 1991 and now hosted by thousands of churches around the world. New Hope is one of them.
The program is built around eight recovery principles drawn from the Beatitudes and the twelve traditional steps. It is designed for anyone walking through hurts, habits, or hang-ups, including addiction, codependency, anger, anxiety, grief, the after-effects of someone else's choices, the slow erosion of a long season.
You don't have to introduce yourself. You don't have to share. You don't have to be at any particular stage. You show up, you sit down, and you find out that other people are walking through it too.

Celebrate Recovery is peer support and faith-based community, not licensed therapy. When professional counseling is the right next step, our staff keeps a list of Christian counselors recommended to us by people in our church family. They work from biblical principles. The list is a starting point for finding the right professional, not a New Hope endorsement. Ask the office for a copy. If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
