The purpose of the Celebrate Recovery Ministry at First Baptist is to change the course of our lives, from following selfish ambitions and personal desires which end up causing us so much grief, to knowing and following God's perfect and Christ-centered plan and purpose for our lives which will by necessity lead us out of bondage to our old, painful resentments, hurts, addictions, and habits. Our healing is to be for His glory, not our own satisfaction.


We are once again holding in-person meetings!

August - September 2018

In August we take what God has taught us through the first 11 Steps and apply it all at the Big Knob Fair where we will go to pray and talk with anyone who needs it.

As you follow God through the 12 Steps, He takes you from the place where life is all about you to life being all about Him, and since He loves all people, your life in Him includes loving others.  You go from the selfishness of addiction, anger and resentment to truly caring about other people because of God in you.

The Big Knob Fair gives us opportunity to meet people where they are and let them see the love God has for them, how He wants to free them from the addictions, heal them of the hurts, and love Him because He loved them first.

There will be no CR meeting on August 31 because we will be at the Fair.  Regular weekly meetings will continue, restarting at Step 1 on Friday, September 7, 2018.

I hope to see you then,
Pastor Mark
