PURPOSE STATEMENT

• The purpose of the founders of Saddleback Church’s Celebrate Recovery ministry 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.
