"Celebrate Recovery" and its impact (WBIR - July 2025)
CELEBRATE RECOVERY - LOVE, GROW, REACH, SERVE
Celebrate Recovery (CR) has proven itself to be a vital ministry in our community. Before COVID, we were seeing 40 people in attendance each week. That’s fantastic when we consider the national average attendance for Celebrate Recovery groups is only 20. Even with the pandemic reducing the number of people attending, Celebrate Recovery remained faithful. In 2024, Celebrate Recovery sees 20-25 people in attendance weekly.
Our Group leaders are trained in substance use recovery, codependency, and grief recovery. Here are some other educational topics we have covered since Celebrate Recovery began in 2017:

Children living with loved ones affected by substance use disorder (SUD) face unique challenges. "Celebration Place," the kid-centered companion to Celebrate Recovery, is a setting where children discover the pathway to healing and well-being. It's a place for children whose loved ones have made the courageous choice to begin their own journey toward health and wholeness.
"The Landing," is a student ministry within Celebrate Recovery. Come and process life, find healing in Christ, and gain valuable tools to live healthier lives.
If you'd like to get more information on our Celebrate Recovery ministry, please contact Marta Coburn, Director of Recovery Ministries, at [email protected]
