A Step Study is a personal journey through each of the 12 Steps of Celebrate Recovery in a confidential group led by a facilitator who has previously completed a Step Study.

​Upon completion of the 4 participant guides, you will have worked through your hurts, habits, and hang-ups. A Step Study is a long-term commitment to the members of the group, and most importantly a commitment to yourself. Step Study meetings are gender-specific and meet on different days.

Celebrate Recovery uses the 4 Participant Guides as the curriculum for working through the 12 Steps and 8 Recovery Principals.

​Participant Guide #1 - Stepping Out Of Denial

Participant Guide #2 - Taking An Honest And Spiritual Inventory

Participant Guide #3 - Getting Right With God

Participant Guide #4 - Growing In Christ
