Ministries Involved

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery at Hillside Community Church is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the "8 Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be changed". 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.

A hurt, habit, or hang-up is something that hinders your walk with God. The feeling of being HURT is an emotional reaction to another person's behavior or to a disturbing situation (abuse, abandonment, codependency, divorce, relationship issues, etc.). A HABIT is an addiction to someone or something (alcoholism, drugs, food, gambling, sex, shopping, smoking, etc.). HANG-UPS are negative mental attitudes that are used to cope with people or adversity (anger, depression, fear, unforgivingness, etc.). THESE LIFE PROBLEMS CAN BE STUMBLING BLOCKS OR STEPPING STONES. Healing is available through applying the principles of a Bible-based recovery process to your life.
