The purpose of  Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the "8 Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be changed." We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God's grace in solving our lives' problems. 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.

"President George W. Bush praised the Celebrate Recovery Program as a ministry that does what government cannot--change hearts."

Please Join Us!

Friday Nights from 6:00-10:00PM.

Celebrate Recovery at Vineyard Boise began October 2003 and has seen changed lives, warmed hearts, and the power of God's deliverance.  

Dinner
A relaxing time of dining and fellowship where healthy relationships can be established, this prepares us for the work ahead. ($3 donation requested to offset costs) 6:00pm-6:45pm

General Meeting
Beginning with worship to help open the heart in preparation. Renewed faith can be experienced in hearing teaching from those who are gifted or have a message to share, and the power of testimony both confronts our pain and and reassures us that we are not alone in our battles. 7:00pm-8:00pm

Small Groups
Breaking into male and female groups facilitated by leaders who have gone through similar hurts hang-ups or habits we open up and share our experiences and struggles. Our leaders are not counselors and the participants do not attempt to "fix" one another. Only offering guidance when possible, and a safe environment for personal growth.

Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings.  Limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes

There is NO cross talk.  Cross talk is when two people engage in conversation excluding all others.  Each person is free to express his or her feelings without interruptions.

We are here to support one another, not "fix" one another.

Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements.  What is shared in the group stays in the group.  The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.

Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group.

Cafe Fellowship
Coffee, Tea and dessert are the perfect way to end the evening. A relaxed environment where you can meet with sponsors, interact with new found friends, plan for future activities and unwind from the hard work of recovery.  ($1 donation for dessert, drinks are free)
