The purpose of Victory Christian Center´s Celebrate Recovery ministry 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 lifes´ 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.

8 Recovery Principles(Based on the Beatitudes, by Pastor Rick Warren, Saddleback Church)
REALIZE I’m not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable. EARNESTLY believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover. CONSCIOUSLY choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. OPENLY examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. VOLUNTARILY submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. EVALUATE all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others. RESERVE a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. (Step 10, 11)
YIELD myself to be used by God to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.
