But a Samaritan when he saw him, took pity on him, went to him, bandaged his wounds and took care of him. And Jesus said, "Go and do likewise."

Celebrate Recovery
Celebrate Recovery
Many times in life we find ourselves experiencing emotional, spiritual, or physical upheaval. Vineyard founder John Wimber would often say, "The church is a hospital, a family, an army, and a school." As the body of Christ, Lakes Area Vineyard purposefully co-labors with Jesus as a hospital, tending to broken places by coming alongside people to bring Jesus' care & healing love. If you find yourself struggling with an addiction, anger, depression, or an unbearable grief; if you are hurting spiritually, or struggling with life in general, Celebrate Recovery is a safe place for you.
The purpose of Celebrate Recovery here at the Vineyard is to gather people with hurts, habits and hang-ups and celebrate stepping out of denial and into God’s grace. We desire to grow in our understanding of God’s love and healing by taking an honest and spiritual inventory on our journey to get right with God so that we can go into our communities serving with genuineness and passion. We celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through eight biblical principles based on the beatitudes found in Matthew. We share our experiences, strength, and hope with one another. In addition we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our lives’ problems!
