Celebrate Recovery
"Celebrate Recovery is a program where men and women can fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in their lives through this "Twelve Step Program" based on biblical principles. This experience allows us to 'be changed'. By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power -- Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power." Celebrate Recovery meets at Bethany Baptist Church each Monday evening. "Large Group" meeting starts at 7:00 PM. "Small Group" meeting (gender specific) starts at 8:00 PM. Desserts at 9:00 PM. For further information about Bethany's program email celebrate@bethany-baptist.org.

Crown Financial Ministries
Crown Financial Ministries is a interdenominational ministry that uses a remarkably effective small group study to train people to apply the stewardship principles (includes debt, budgeting, giving, work, investing and children) from the Word of God to their everyday lives.

The intended purpose of the Crown study is to teach people God's financial principles in order to know Christ more intimately and to be free to serve Him.
