Celebrate Recovery

What is Celebrate Recovery?

Celebrate Recovery is a place to gather and find God’s healing power through sharing our experience, strength and hope with one another, through solid teaching rooted in the Bible and best recovery practices, and in accepting God’s grace to solve our life’s habits, hurts and hang-ups.

How Do I Get Started?

Celebrate Recovery meets every Monday evening at Alexandria Covenant Church (follow Dakota Street just north of Target).  Just show up between 6 and 6:30 p.m. through either of the church’s main floor entrances.  You’ll be welcomed by greeters and signs pointing you to recovery information and other resources. Enjoy snacks and a cup of coffee at the café tables where you can rewind and meet others before moving into our Ministry Center at 6:30 p.m. for our Large Group Celebration.

Following our Large Group Celebration, we’ll walk you and other first-time participants through a Newcomers 101 session at 7:30 p.m.  Afterwards, you can stay as our guest at the Solid Rock Café for free coffee, desserts or a snack.  Your kids are welcome too!  Free childcare is available from 6:15-8:45 p.m. for newborns through kindergarteners in our Nursery Zone.

“Celebration Station” every Monday night for your kids! They will experience great music, age-appropriate Bible teaching, time for quiet reflection, and fun activities that tie in to what parents are learning in the adult sessions. This is a great opportunity for families to journey with God into wholeness, healing, and a life of serving God and others.

What Happens on a Monday evening?

6:30-7:30 p.m. // Large Group Celebration

Everyone meets together in our Ministry Center for a time of worship, followed by a teaching or testimony.  There is no pre-registration or sign-ups.  Upon arrival a greeter will welcome you and hand you a bulletin to help orient you to the evening.

7:30-8:30 p.m. // Open Share Groups

This is the time to break into recovery-specific groups and share and hear from others with similar hurts, hang-ups and habits. A safe environment to begin working on your recovery.

7:30-8:30 p.m. // Newcomers 101

This is a one-time meeting where you will hear more about Celebrate Recovery, hear personal mini-testimonies, and ask direct questions.

8:30 p.m. // Solid Rock Café

This is a great time for fellowship with others from your group.  Join us for great coffee, great desserts, or a healthy snack.

Step Study Groups

At various times during the week we offer in-depth Step-Study Groups.  Step Studies use the Celebrate Recovery Participant’s Guides and the Bible to work more intentionally on our areas of healing and recovery.  We start new groups as people indicate interest and we can identify and train qualified leaders.  We announce new Step Studies several weeks before a new group starts.
