What Resources and Support Does Celebrate Recovery Offer?

Updated

Celebrate Recovery offers a mix of in-person and online support: local groups, a weekly online meeting, free ministry resources, a podcast, a Mighty Networks community, training conferences, and events. Most of these are open to anyone exploring recovery from "hurts, hang-ups, and habits," while some training and event items involve registration or purchase. If you are in danger of hurting yourself or someone else, the site directs you to call 911, or call/text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255 — those emergency options come before any program resource.

Find Help and Find a Group

The two main entry points on the site are Find HELP and Find A GROUP.

  • Find A GROUP is the path for locating a local Celebrate Recovery group near you.
  • Find HELP is the broader starting point if you are not sure which resource fits your situation.

Celebrate Recovery describes itself as "a safe place to find freedom from your hurts, hang-ups, and habits," and states it is for everyone — framed as a grace-filled community for people getting honest about their pain and the ways they see themselves, God, and others. That means you do not need a specific diagnosis or a particular background to walk in; the stated audience is anyone dealing with hurts, hang-ups, or habits.

Online Meetings From Anywhere

If there is no group near you, or you want encouragement sooner, the site runs a weekly online recovery meeting:

Detail What the site states
Format Zoom group
Schedule Every Wednesday at 12pm PST
Access Enter your email to receive the Zoom link and meeting information
Purpose For anyone who needs help, especially where no local CR Group exists

The stated rationale is distance and timing: the online group exists so people can "find freedom, from anywhere," particularly when a local group is not close by.

Community, Podcast, and Testimonies

Beyond meetings, the site lists several ongoing channels:

  • Mighty Networks — a community platform, with a Mighty Networks Login entry point for members.
  • Podcast — audio content you can follow between meetings.
  • Testimonies — first-person accounts from people in the community.
  • Our DNA — a page describing the identity and approach behind the ministry.

These are useful if you want to understand the program's tone and beliefs before attending, or if you want ongoing contact with the community rather than a single weekly meeting.

Free Ministry Resources and the Shop

The site separates Free Ministry Resources from Shop Resources:

  • Free Ministry Resources — materials provided at no stated cost, aimed at ministries and teams.
  • Shop Resources — a storefront, so expect some items to require payment.
  • Ministries and Teams — the section for churches or groups running or starting a CR ministry.

The site's pricing signals reference "purchase," and the navigation includes Purchase Summit 2026, so treat event and summit items as paid unless a page says otherwise. The free resources are labeled as free; nothing else should be assumed free.

Events, Training, and Conferences

The events side of the site includes:

  • Summit 2026 and Summit 2027 (with a Purchase step for 2026)
  • West Gathering
  • Training Conferences 2026–2027
  • Main Stage Talks

Training conferences are the route for people who want to lead or launch a group rather than only attend one. Summits and gatherings are larger-scale events. Because purchase steps appear in the navigation, check each event page for cost and registration requirements before planning.

Find A Rep

Find A Rep connects you with a representative — useful when you have questions about starting a ministry, need guidance on which resource fits, or want a human contact instead of a form. For a church or team considering a CR ministry, this is typically the first stop before training.

How to Choose a Starting Point

  • Want a local group: use Find A GROUP.
  • No group nearby, or want something this week: join the Wednesday online Zoom meeting by submitting your email.
  • Not sure what you need: start with Find HELP.
  • Want to lead or launch a ministry: look at Free Ministry Resources, then Training Conferences, and contact Find A Rep.
  • Want to browse or buy materials: Shop Resources.
  • Want ongoing community: Mighty Networks and the Podcast.

One practical note: the online meeting is tied to a single weekly time (Wednesday 12pm PST), so if that slot does not work, a local group or the podcast and community channels are the alternatives the site itself points to.
