I will lift up my eyes to the hills-from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

Elevate, our ministries of support and encouragement, were created out of a desire to be agents of God’s grace in the community around us. We take seriously our call to be a compassionate witness to the love of Christ for people who are in need of a positive environment in which to heal and/or grow. .
Celebrate Recovery
Tuesdays, 6:30pm to 8:00pm - Connection Center
The Celebrate Recovery environment is one of welcome and understanding, where participants can gain strength and receive peer support. Celebrate Recovery was started at Saddleback Valley Community Church by Pastor John Baker. We will use their materials and our hope is to provide a safe place to share and work through the 12 Steps and 8 Recovery Principles in order to grow spiritually. By working and applying these Biblical principles we may become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom then creates peace, serenity, joy and stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we work our way through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power – Jesus Christ.
