The purpose of the “Celebrate Recovery” Program at Zion Chapel is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the 12-Step and 8 Recovery Principles. This experience allows us to “be changed.”
We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hope with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our lives’ problems.
By working and applying these Biblical principals, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, stronger personal relationships with God and others.
As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power– Jesus Christ.
Celebrate Recovery meets every Thursday Night with Group Support for: Chemical/Alcohol Dependency; Co-Dependency; Adult Children of Alcoholics; Depression; Eating Disorders; Anger Issues; Gambling; Sexual Addictions.
This approach to Prayer Ministry is being used by thousands of people around the world who are reporting wonderful results. Pastors, Professional Counselors, and Lay Ministers world-wide have reported our training program to be highly effective in bringing relief to people with a wide variety of emotional duress.
Theophostic Prayer Ministry acknowledges that Jesus Christ is the only one who can truly release the wounded person from their emotional mental bondage. This does not invalidate the role of the counselor/minister as a listener, intercessor and/or instructor of biblical knowledge and godly living, but acknowledges that apart from Christ we are ineffective in accomplishing God’s desire for bringing lasting peace and genuine victory to the wounded soul. Theophostic (God's Light) is all about the Lord Jesus.
The Ancient Paths Seminar is a balanced ministry of Biblical teaching followed by Spirit-led praying in small groups based upon Jeremiah 6:16.
The teaching is on video by founder Craig Hill. It gives solid principles and moving examples that open the heart up for ministry to receive healing from a cursed identity. The intent of the teaching is not just for information, but to expose hidden areas of woundedness that have occurred in the family of origin or through other significant relationships. Developing relational communication skills is the opening topic. The dynamics of how addictive patterns are formed when the soul is out of peace is covered next. Then, Saturday is a journey through critical times of life when God intends to bless a person; such as birth, puberty, marriage, old age.
When a teaching session ends, participants go to their assigned group for prayer, led by trained facilitators. The purpose of the group is not discussion, counseling, or exhorting, but for asking the Holy Spirit to show participants where our soul is wounded, to expose any lies of the enemy, and to ask the Lord to speak the truth that He wants us to hear in our hearts. Participants may pour out emotional pain to God that has been bottled up for years. But no one in the group is forced to open up in prayer. Those who do not respond outwardly, often receive healing as they identify with those that do.
The end result of this ministry is that people are healed and released to be spouses, parents, and friends who bless one another more and curse each other less.
The purpose of this ministry is to restore God’s timeless foundations to families by facilitating God’s process of imparting identity and destiny to His people and to reestablish a culture of blessing within the church and community.
