Our Celebrate Recovery ministry provides a safe place for people to find support in the challenges and hurts of life, and to look to God for healing and change.
The path to recovery is set out in eight biblical principles.
We begin a new cycle of Celebrate Recovery on Monday 6th January in church.
Celebrate Recovery General Meeting Nights
You are welcome to join us on any Monday. Our weekly meetings run from January to December. If you think Celebrate Recovery might help you, come along to our Monday evening meetings at 7.15pm in church.
The General Meeting Night includes Large Group Time with worship and a Bible-based recovery lesson or testimony.
This is followed by gender-specific Open Share Groups which follow 5 group guidelines to keep everyone safe.
Read more about Celebrate Recovery in our 2025 newsletter.
Annual Celebration Evening
Each year we invite the whole church family and friends to our Celebration Evening to support our participants on their recovery journeys, and to praise God for the freedom and healing that He is bringing to their lives through this ministry!
Our 2025 Celebration – on Monday 24th November - celebrates 20 years of Celebrate Recovery at our church.

Step Studies
In addition to Monday's General Meeting Night, we occasionally offer Step Study groups at a different time in the week where participants work through the Celebrate Recovery Participant’s Guides together in weekly meetings for approximately eight months.
A women’s weekly Step Study meets for six months beginning on Wednesday 29th January at 10.30am – 12.00pm.
Contact info@celebraterecovery.org.uk to join a Step Study or to find out if we have one starting soon.
Biblical Healing Choices
Periodically we run an 8-week ‘Biblical Healing Choices’ course. This offers an overview of Celebrate Recovery, looking at one 'choice' or Celebrate Recovery principle per week. Please get in touch for more information.
