Our Purpose

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery ministry at First Baptist Church of Everett 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.

Celebrate Recovery Deals With...

  • Addictions
  • Co-dependancy
  • Abuse
  • Grief
  • Divorce
  • Anger
  • Stress
  • Eating Disorders
  • Fear
  • Shame
  • Any life issues/or struggles

Celebrate Recovery is for people who want to have better relationships with coworkers, family and spouses. It’s for people who have habits that are unhealthy. Are you ready to step out of denial and into God’s Grace? Are you struggling with life, with people? Do you struggle with yourself? Celebrate Recovery accepts you as you are!

THE ROAD TO RECOVERY

  • Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.
  • Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to him, and that he has the power to help me recover.
  • Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control.
  • Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to someone I trust.
  • Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove your character defects.
  • Evaluate all my relationships; offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others except when to do so would harm them or others.
  • Reserve a daily time with God for selfexamination, Bible readings and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.
  • Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.
