About Us

A Place to Be Known, Healed, and Made Whole

Celebrate Recovery Paw Paw is a Christ-centered, peer-support program designed for anyone struggling with addiction, life hurts, or broken relationships. Whether it's substance use, compulsive behaviors, grief, or the lingering pain of the past — you have a place here.

We meet at Freshwater Community Church in the heart of Paw Paw, and our community is built on a simple but powerful conviction: no one has to face their struggles alone. Our gatherings are welcoming, confidential, and grounded in faith.

Every person who walks through our doors is met with dignity, empathy, and the genuine belief that recovery is possible. This isn't about judgment or shame — it's about grace, growth, and getting help from people who truly understand.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Psalms 34:18

What We Offer

Pathways to Recovery & Healing

Our program meets you where you are — whether you're taking your first step or you've been on this journey for years.

Weekly Recovery Meetings

Our core gatherings provide a safe, structured environment where members share experiences, find accountability, and grow together in a supportive community setting.

Bible-Based Curriculum

Our 12-step program is rooted in Scripture, guiding participants through the Beatitudes and practical spiritual principles for lasting transformation and personal growth.

Compassionate Support

No matter what you're facing — substance abuse, behavioral addiction, trauma, or relationship struggles — you'll find nonjudgmental encouragement from people who care.

Our Approach

Four Pillars of Lasting Recovery

Our program is built on time-tested principles that address the whole person — spirit, soul, and body.

Admit Powerlessness

Recognizing that life has become unmanageable is the first step toward true freedom. There is strength in honesty, and courage in asking for help.

Discover Hope

Healing begins when we open our hearts to the possibility of change. Through faith and community, we find a hope that surpasses circumstances.

Make a Choice

Recovery requires a daily decision to turn toward healing. We invite you to make that choice — and then walk alongside you as you do.

Continue Growing

Recovery is a journey, not a destination. Our community provides ongoing support, mentorship, and resources for continued spiritual and personal growth.

I walked in feeling like I had nowhere left to go. I walked out knowing I had a family who would never stop believing in me. This program didn't just change my habits — it restored my hope.
