Celebrate Recovery
Hurts, habits, and hang-ups – we’ve all got them.
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered ministry that gives people the resources and relationships to help find a new way of living. This ministry is for anyone struggling with past or current hurts, habits, or hang-ups, whether they are affecting their own life or the lives of those around them.
Celebrate Recovery meets at the Capital Turnaround at 6:30pm (with dinner available starting at 6pm) on Thursday evenings and you can join at any time!
Child care is provided for infants through 5th grade. Register your kids at ncc.re/WeeknightChildCare. Drop-off starts at 6:15pm and is through the main L Street entrance (the two sets of double doors). Children and spouses are welcome to join us for dinner.
Location: We meet at the Capital Turnaround (700 M Street SE). Unless dropping off kids (see above), please enter through the single door at the corner of L and 8th Streets SE. We are a short walk from both the Eastern Market (Blue/Orange/Silver) and Navy Yard (Green) metro stops. Street parking is available in the area.
About Celebrate Recovery
This Christ-centered 12-step program is for those dealing with any sort of hurt, habit, or hang-up. This can include struggles with relationships, anger, food, sex, porn, drugs, alcohol, finances, gambling, self-injury, family dysfunction, the effects of past abuse, and more.
Each night consists of a large group meeting with worship and a lesson or a testimony, and then we break into gender-specific small groups to share. We maintain a safe environment by adhering to five small group guidelines.
The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to find God’s healing power in our lives through the Eight Recovery Principles found in the Beatitudes and the Christ-centered Twelve Steps. By working the Christ-centered steps and applying their Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from the pain of our pasts and the destructive behaviors of our present. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and more importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God, others, and our One and Only Higher Power, Jesus Christ.
If you have any questions, email Ryan Zempel, NCC’s Pastor of Recovery & Care.
Step Studies
Celebrate Recovery step studies are a deeper dive into the CR material with weekly homework. They typically last 10-12 months, meet on a different night of the week, and are gender-specific. NCC is hoping to launch men’s and women’s step studies this fall. More details to come!
