FAQ 02

How do I start attending Celebrate Recovery?

Many people find the process of starting recovery scary because they aren't sure how to begin or what to expect.  The easiest way to get started, is to get started!  You don't need to sign up, register ahead of time, or even let anyone know that you are coming.

First, you'll find loving people who won't judge you or try to fix you.  You'll find people who have experience healing from their hurts, hang-ups, and habits in CR by the power of Jesus Christ.  Next, you'll find a safe place to share what's going on in your life and hear from the experience of others.  Most importantly, you'll find a place where you can connect with Jesus and find healing from your life's issues. No one should have to go through recovery alone, get started in Celebrate Recovery today!

FAQ 03

Who started CR?

Celebrate Recovery was founded in 1991 as a ministry of Saddleback Church by Pastor John and Cheryl Baker.  John shared with Senior Pastor Rick Warren a vision God had given him for a new Christ-centered ministry where people could find freedom from their hurts, hang-ups, and habits.

The first night 43 people attended, and Celebrate Recovery was born with only four Open Share Groups - Men's and Women's Chemical Dependency, and Men's and Women's Co-Dependency.  Over the years, thousands of people have gone through the program at Saddleback Church. Many of them have gone on to serve in Celebrate Recovery and other areas of the church.

Thousands of churches have started a Celebrate Recovery ministry around the world, and that number continues to grow. Celebrate Recovery is not just growing in churches, but in recovery houses, rescue missions, universities, and prisons around the world.  It continues to be a growing global movement.
