What is CR?

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery ministry for anyone struggling with life controlling hurts, hang-ups, and destructive habits, no matter how big or small.

Celebrate Recovery started in 1991 at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. It has since become a movement of the Lord that spans the globe, including six groups that meet, locally in the Oil Region of Northwestern Pennsylvania.

Our purpose is to fellowship together and support one another as we celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the eight recovery principles found in the Bible and in the Christ-centered 12 steps of recovery. We call the collaboration of CR groups in northwestern PA, Celebrate Recovery of the Oil Region River (CR-ORR). Join us and find freedom from your hurts, hang-ups & habits.

CR & TFO

TFO Farm owners, Mike & Deb Peterson are believers in Jesus. We are trusting God to guide us through recovery from hurts, hang-ups & habits. As fallen creatures, redeemed by Christ, we have submitted our life and wills to the care of God and we believe the 12-steps of recovery are the simple gospel in outline form.

Celebrate Recovery shows us HOW to be...
  • HONEST in all our affairs
  • OPEN to God's way
  • WILLING to obey to Him 
CR is the church in action, a safe place to recover from whatever holds us back...
  • addictions (drug/alcohol/shopping/gambling/sex, etc.)
  • grief
  • abuse
  • anxiety & panic attacks
  • depression
  • codependency
  • marital & family problems
You name it, Jesus has the answer and together, we are trusting Him for the hard work of recovery in CR.

Help & hope is found in Christ Jesus!

The Christ-Centered
12-Steps of Recovery

One of our prayer is that Celebrate Recovery will create a bridge to the millions of people who are familiar with the secular 12 Steps and in so doing, introduce them to the one and only true Higher Power, Jesus Christ, through whom true healing can begin.

The Reality Choice

I realize I'm not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable.

"Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor." ~Jesus (Mt. 5:3)

The Hope Choice

I earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.

"Happy are those who mourne, for God will comfort them!" ~Jesus (Mt. 5:4) 

The Commitment Choice

I conciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control. 

"Blessed are the meek." ~Jesus (Mt.5:5)

The Housecleaning Choice

I openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." ~Jesus (Mt. 5:8)

The Transformation Choice

I voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects.

The Relationship Choice

I 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 injure them or others.

The Growth Choice

I reserve a daily quiet time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and hHis will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.

The Sharing Choice

I yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.
