OUR PURPOSE
The purpose of Garden Ridge's Celebrate Recovery ministry is to celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the "8 Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be changed."
Through fellowship we open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God's grace in solving our lives´ problems. By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually.
We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.
As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power.
Why Celebrate Recovery?
Our society is becoming more and more complex. Kids now have three sets of grandparents. Sexual addiction for men and women is growing at an exponential rate. Divorce is at an all-time high - for Christians. This is our reality.
Our churches and communities are filled with people who are struggling with pain, shame and addictions.
Celebrate Recovery is a program to help those struggling with hurts, habits and hang-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through a recovery process.
Celebrate Recovery meetings are open to everyone. Come and join us in a time of worship, amazing stories of transformed lives, and small group discussions designed to provide the strength to overcome life's hurts, habits, and hang-ups.
Open to All Adults
Celebrate Recovery meetings are open to all adults age 18 and older. Come and join us in a time of worship, amazing stories of transformed lives, and small group discussions designed to provide the strength to overcome life's hurts, habits, and hang-ups.
Garden Ridge also hosts an age appropriate resource for children ages 5 through 13 called Celebration Place. Click for more information.
EIGHT RECOVERY PRINCIPLES
MATTHEW 5:1-13 THE BEATITUDES
Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable. Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.
Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to him, and that he has the power to help me recover. Happy are those who mourn. God will comfort them.
Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control. Happy are the humble.
Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to someone I trust. Happy are the pure in heart.
Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.
Evaluate all my relationships; Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others except when to do so would harm them or others. Happy are the merciful. Happy are the peacemakers.
Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible readings, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.
Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.
