Welcome to Celebrate Recovery at The United Methodist Church of Chillicothe!
We've launched a recovery program based on the eight principles from the Beatitudes. Began in 1991 by Pastor John Baker, a recovering alcoholic, who saw the need to put Christ back into the center of breaking addictions. For example, AA began as a deeply spiritual program, Celebrate Recovery is a return to Christ -centered recovery.
Everyone struggles with addiction somehow...it's called sin and it's when we try to fill the voids and meet the needs in our lives by some means other than GOD. Some of us eat too much, spend too much, watch too much TV, escape into the computer, get into weird relationships, drink too much, or take drugs to numb the pain.
No matter what your hurts, habits, or hang ups may be there is hope! Celebrate Recovery offers a safe, welcoming, grace filled, Christ-centered fellowship. At Celebrate Recovery you will find many who are dealing with struggles similar to your own. You will also find a group of men and women who share your desire to be made whole through the grace of God.
Everyone is WELCOME, please continue to visit this web site and find out what it's all about and whether you may be called into this ministry!
