Breaking Free

Breaking Free is a Christ-centered recovery program designed to help people address a variety of hurts, habits and hang-ups. Our weekly meeting at the Central congregation includes teaching, encouragement, sharing recovery experiences, and small group interaction.

Breaking Free is a Celebrate Recovery affiliate providing a safe environment for real-life change in Jesus Christ as participants personally work through specific Bible-based recovery steps in the context of Christian community. We open the door to recovery by sharing our experiences, strength and hope in one another, which leads to a greater capacity for accepting God's grace and movement in our lives.

If all of your pursuits to find life and ease your pain have only led to more pain and emptiness, maybe it's time to consider something else.

Join us in breaking free to pursue real life in Jesus Christ and celebrate the recovery that only He can bring.
