Our Hurts, Habits & Hang Ups + Jesus = Celebrate Recovery!
If you are in a place where…
- You’re just figuring out if you have an issue that needs help
- Or, if you are out exploring for a program that is going to seriously help you with your issue
- Or, if you are already ready and willing to take some worthwhile steps in finding freedom and victory over a habit, hurt or hang-up
…then you are invited to join us!
Hi, my name is John Gilmore. I am the pastoral facilitator for CR here at Damascus Road Church and a simple guy who is gratefully walking out his relationship with Jesus and his recovery from a several of habits, hurts and hang-ups. The amazing thing is…I have found out that living out my recovery with a real, dynamic and personal relationship with Jesus has been the most radical difference in my life for real and consistent change in my life.
One of the very useful tools that I have come across in this journey has been the Celebrate Recovery program. Its Christ-Centered and biblical approach to recovery has been something that has helped myself as well as many thousands of others.
Is this the “End-All-B-All” program for everyone?…of course not, but it is a program that does one thing I truly love…it focuses on what the bible teaches and what Jesus taught about recovery and restoration for us. It also honors the primary 12 Steps in Recovery that simply come from biblical teaching. As a result you get 8 Principles and 12 Steps that we get to go through and allow God to do some amazing things in our lives. I personally want to invite you and if you come please introduce yourself, I would love to meet you.

More about Celebrate Recovery
Hurts, Habits, Hang-ups…we all have them. But when you find yourself facing them as obstacles to your personal growth and the wonderful things God wants to do with your life, it’s time to do something about it.
Celebrate Recovery is a Biblical and balanced program to help us overcome hurts, habits and hang-ups. It is based on the actual words of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount. While undoubtedly many lives have been helped through classic 12 step programs, those programs are generally vague about the nature of God, the saving power of Jesus Christ, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. By applying these Biblical principles, we become free from our addictive , compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place where we strictly adhere to confidentiality and anonymity. Also, if you have gone through or are working through issues such as chemical dependency, over-eating, co-dependency, sexual addictions and others and you would love to help others while working on your own recovery…please contact us <click>
