Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, 12 step recovery program for anyone struggling with hurt, hang-ups, and habits of any kind.
Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find community and freedom from the issues that are controlling our life.
our history

Celebrate Recovery started in 1991 at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. At that time, the church was meeting at a high school gymnasium. John Baker wrote Pastor Rick Warren the “now-famous, concise, 13-page, single-spaced” letter outlining the vision God had given John for Celebrate Recovery. After reading John’s letter, Pastor Rick said, “Great, John — go do it!”
