Ministry can feel lonely, and pastors and their spouses often carry silent burdens with no place to turn.

This workshop will be a training and educational experience. The goal will be to cover current trends reladed to opioid use/deaths in the US, overdose and prevention strategies, and recognizing or providing a better understanding to what opioids are. The workshop will include information on pain receptors in the brain, how opioids affect them, naloxone training/demonstration, and safe prescribing practices. Q&A if time allows.
One of the most valuable things about Celebrate Recovery is the way it not only helps a person find healing, but also equips them to live life in a healthy way moving forward. What might it look like to give that gift to someone during the most formative years of their life? The Landing, Celebrate Recovery’s student ministry, does just that. This time will help to equip your local ministry to provide a safe place for students to bring their brokenness, habits, and pain into the light of Christ’s grace and find the tools to step forward in healing and wholeness.

God made our souls remarkably resilient, but part of being human is having limits. If we aren’t careful, we can find ourselves exhausted, discouraged, and disoriented. Burnout is what happens when we live disconnected from our own hearts for too long. But Jesus came to connect us to true life. In this time, we’ll explore the root causes of burnout, how it impacts our recovery, and practical ways to restore emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Whether you’re running on empty or just feeling stretched thin, this is a space to breathe, reflect, and reset.

Have you ever had trouble setting or keeping a boundary? Most of us have. In this workshop we’ll explore the importance of boundaries, what they are and what they are not and how to set and keep them.

Finding peaceful and mutually acceptable solutions to disagreements or disputes can be a challenge in ministry, society, and even in ourselves. Come to be equipped with tools to address conflict and develop processes for reconciliation. Together, we will examine how to approach conflicts and reconcile using God’s truth.

Thriving relationships don’t just happen—they’re intentionally built through honesty, connection, and resilience. In this session, we’ll focus on the habits, mindsets, and recovery principles that help relationships flourish. Whether you’re navigating ministry dynamics, friendships, family relationships, or community life, this session offers practical foundations for forming stronger, more life-giving connections.

Join us for an inspiring and transformative workshop where we dive deep into the heart of Celebrate Recovery, focusing on ways to sustain the spark in ministry through small groups, general meeting, connection, and more, whether as an attendee or a leader. How do we keep the spark to sustain building authentic relationships, accountability, and overall spiritual growth. Discover the power of ways to sustain your recovery journey and inspire those around you. Learn how to create an environment of acceptance, encourage new participants, and celebrate every victory along the way.

Relapse can feel like a setback, but through the lens of faith, it becomes an opportunity to experience God’s grace, mercy, and redemptive power. Relapse, though painful and discouraging, can actually become a powerful place of growth and deeper dependence on Christ. As believers, we can view relapse as an opportunity for God to do even greater work in and through us. In this workshop we’ll examine biblical principles that speak to our struggles, discuss how to rely on God's strength in moments of weakness, and learn practical steps to safeguard our spiritual and emotional well-being.

Did you know Celebrate Recovery has played a significant role in supporting mental health by fostering a safe place to experience community and belonging. But have you ever been unsure of how to support someone who is struggling with their mental health?

We will discuss the mental health ambassador role and how to build a healthy mental health culture in your CR.

Imagine: You are handing a gift to a child whose parent is incarcerated and not going to be home for Christmas. Because of your generous gift of time and compassion, this gift and a personal message, given by your church on their parent's behalf, reminds them that they are not forgotten. Your church can be part of a lasting impact. Join us as we walk through this incredible opportunity and provide information on ways that you can minister to these families throughout the year. In this workshop, we will share the impact of Prison Fellowship Angel Tree® in the community where you live and demonstrate the opportunity to serve families with incarcerated loved ones locally. We will share the scope of the challenges these families face and explore how your church can be part of the solution. Let us equip your church/ministry with all the training you need to launch, restart or expand your ministry impact in your local area.

Could it be the case that the very thing this next generation longs for is exactly what Celebrate Recovery is all about?

We’ll talk practical strategies for building trust, creating safe spaces, and inviting the next generation into a framework of health and healing with Jesus through the process of recovery.

The Church is in a state of story poverty. At Celebrate Recovery your testimony closes the gap between what God is doing to transform lives within the church. We have all been called to testify of what God has done in our lives, the lives of others, and in communities around the world. As each of us journey life here on earth between the eternities, we each need to ask and find the courage to share God’s story in our lives. What a better place to start sharing, than at Celebrate Recovery!

Since the early days of the modern recovery movement, Sponsors have been considered vital to the recovery process. However, the heart behind the Sponsor role is rooted in timeless biblical principles. Sponsorship is more than guiding someone through the steps — it is a form of spiritual mentorship modeled after the discipleship and relational accountability found in Scripture. In this workshop, we’ll discuss different aspects of Sponsorship, but we will also discuss how the relationships we engage in can fulfill many of the essential elements of having a Sponsor even when or if we don’t have one.

This workshop will guide you through the essential steps of building a strong, healthy leadership team for your Celebrate Recovery ministry.
