Celebrate Recovery | DFWLIGHTHOUSE

is Celebrate Recovery for me?

Celebrate Recovery is a biblically based recovery program designed to help people heal from their hurts, hang-ups, and habits and find lasting freedom, and to take the next step toward wholeness.

Open Share Groups are where recovery gets real. After the large group meets, we break into gender-specific groups where you can talk openly about what you're actually walking through. There's no cross-talk, no advice-giving, and no pressure to speak — just a safe, confidential room where you're heard instead of fixed. What's said in the group stays in the group.

The Step Study is the deeper work. In a small, committed group, you'll walk through the 12 Steps and the 8 Principles at a steady pace, using participant guides to write, reflect, and process what you find. It usually takes about a year. It's not quick and it isn't always comfortable — but it's where lasting freedom takes root, and you'll never do it alone.

On testimony nights, someone from our group shares their story — what life used to look like, what changed, and what God is doing now. These are honest and prayerfully prepared. They're a reminder that no one here is too far gone, and that the freedom we talk about is real.

Our teaching nights walk through the 8 Principles of Celebrate Recovery, drawn from the Beatitudes, along with the 12 Steps and their biblical foundations. Each lesson is practical and grounded in Scripture, from a CR Leader, Sponsor or Pastor. Feel free to take notes and grow together with your forever family!
