Celebrate Recovery was founded in 1991 as a ministry of Saddleback Church by Pastor John and Cheryl Baker, with a vision 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. 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. NARR-certified recovery residences from across the United States participate in local Celebrate Recovery ministries in their communities to help their program participants in their recovery journeys. This session will show the value that Celebrate Recovery can provide for recovery residence programs, and how involvement in Celebrate Recovery can help foster recovery and life change for individuals with substance use disorder.
