Celebrate Recovery, or CR, is a Christ-centered, 12 step recovery program for anyone struggling with a hurt, habit or hang up of any kind. Although participants in CR can have addictions of various kinds, the program also includes support for a wide variety of life issues including co-dependency, sexual purity, family dysfunction, emotional hurts, mental health challenges and more! CR is a safe place to find freedom from the issues that are controlling your life.
Celebrate Recovery was founded on Saddleback Church in CA in 1991 and has since spread to churches, recovery centers and prisons worldwide. Compass Christian Church has had an active Celebrate Recovery Ministry since 2004, (Chandler Christian at that time.) on out Chandler Campus. We will Celebrate 21 years of amazing life change this year. Casa Grande Campus celebrated their 8th year in 2024.
Childcare is provided free of charge for children 8 weeks – 1st grade.

These nights don’t work for you? There are 49 other meetings happening across the valley:
It has been said that “you go to a meeting to feel better, but you work the steps to get better”. Step Studies are a safe place to work through the Jesus-centered 12 Steps in a gender-specific group. These groups meet for 6 to 12 months and meet on different nights of the week. It’s a place where the “why” behind addictions and behavior can finally be uncovered and we can get some freedom from them. We consider this a “heart to heart” experience. We start step studies throughout the year, email [email protected] to be added to our waitlist.
The Landing exists to provide a safe place for students grades in 7 – 12 to process life and the struggles that go with it.
The Landing meets concurrent with the Adult Celebrate Recovery on Friday Nights on the Chandler Campus.
6:00 pm – Dinner (optional)
7:00 pm – Large Group Worship
7:20pm – Students dismissed to their groups
Groups are also gender based and study the same lesson as Adult Celebrate Recovery in a fun, safe and caring environment where students can express themselves. Our Landing leaders are trained to work with students through their hurts habit and hang-ups without judgement.
Celebration Place is geared to address the struggles of our elementary students grades 2- 6. These students learn to handle their big feelings and hurts in appropriate healthy ways. The lessons taught are the same as the adult Celebrate recovery each week with age appropriate activities, games and music. Our Celebration Place leaders are caring, understanding of the day to day struggles of our youngest students
