Healthy and Thriving

A Celebrate Recovery Training Conference is an opportunity to learn how to lead and strengthen a Celebrate Recovery ministry in your church or community. These conferences provide practical training, biblical teaching, and guidance to equip leaders, volunteers, and church teams to support individuals seeking freedom from hurts, hang-ups, and habits through the healing power of Jesus Christ.

Whether you are preparing to start a new Celebrate Recovery ministry or looking to strengthen an existing one, a training conference offers valuable resources, encouragement, and opportunities to connect with others who share a passion for helping people find hope, healing, and lasting transformation.

A Celebrate Recovery Training Conference is for anyone who wants to learn more about Celebrate Recovery and help others experience healing and freedom through Jesus Christ. Whether you are just getting started or have been involved in the ministry for years, the conference offers valuable training, encouragement, and resources.

The conference is ideal for:

• Church pastors and ministry leaders who want to introduce or support Celebrate Recovery in their church.
• New ministry teams preparing to launch a Celebrate Recovery program.
• Existing Celebrate Recovery leaders and volunteers who want to grow in their understanding and strengthen their ministry.
• Individuals passionate about recovery and discipleship who want to help others find hope, healing, and freedom from hurts, hang-ups, and habits.

Whether you are exploring the possibility of starting a ministry or looking to take your existing ministry to the next level, a Celebrate Recovery Training Conference can help equip and encourage you for the journey.

Healthy ministries don’t happen by accident, they are built on healthy foundations, healthy leaders, healthy participants, and healthy teams. Every ministry has seasons. There are times when things are exciting and growing, and there are times when we feel tired, discouraged, or unsure of what comes next.

That’s why we want to invite you and your team to the Healthy and Thriving Training Conference.

The training this season will focus on:

• How to have a healthy and thriving foundation
• What does a healthy and thriving CR Ministry look like?
• DNA vs. Best Practices panel discussion
• Why your testimony matters
• What does a healthy and thriving TEAM look like?
• What does a healthy and thriving leader look like?
• What does a healthy and thriving participant look like?
• Q&A panel
