Celebrate Recovery & Hand Up

Celebrate Recovery was founded in 1991 as a ministry of Saddleback Church by Pastor John and Cheryl Baker. John shared with Senior Pastor Rick Warren a vision God had given him 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 with only four Open Share Groups — Men’s and Women’s Chemical Dependency, and Men’s and Women’s Co-Dependency. 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. 

The need for Celebrate Recovery is unmistakable, being a safe place for people to find freedom from the issues controlling their lives.

Our mission is: To connect with Broken People, who with a Hand Up can find Hope for a Better Life. We spell Hope J-E-S-U-S. We believe Jesus sets the captives free. Captivity comes in the form of physical, emotional, mental, sexual, and spiritual bondage. A Hand Up Ministry specializes in working with men and women who are held captive in chemical addiction, i.e., drugs and alcohol. We provide a safe space and structured environment centered around Celebrate Recovery, bible reading, prayer, worship, fellowship, honest work, and a whole lot of Jesus. We aim to give participants in our program a new lease on life with a new set of spiritual and emotional tools and a growing relationship with Christ. The ultimate goal is freedom… freedom from addiction and freedom to be the sons and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers they were always called to be.

The Hope House is the women’s recovery program. This program offers women struggling with addiction a chance to find freedom so they may be the women at home and in the community that God always intended them to be.
