Matthew Road Baptist Church is in the midst of training facilitators now for Celebrate Recovery which we hope to have up and running by January 2022.

What is Celebrate Recovery?
A typical Celebrate Recovery meeting includes:
*A larger group meeting
*Open share small groups
*Newcomers 101 (for your first week only)

The large group meeting is designed for the participant to set aside the busyness and stress of the outside world by entering into a time of prayer, praise and worship, and teaching as a way of getting in touch with the one and only Higher Power, Jesus Christ.

The open share small groups meet immediately after the large group meeting and provides a place for the participant to  connect with Celebrate Recovery attendees.  This is a safe place where participants  can be in gender-specific groups and issue-specific groups.

Newcomers 101 is for the first time attendees and will help you better understand the opportunity to ask questions or process your feelings in a safe environment before you make a commitment to a small group.

While some  recovery programs only deal with drugs or  alcohol, Celebrate Recovery works to address all kinds of "habits, hurts and hang-ups."

Below are the definitions of the 3 different focus groups.  Please read them and, If this sounds like something that you would be interested in please answer the  below questions.
