A safe place where individuals can find hope, healing, and freedom

Who We Are & What We Do

The Northside Celebrate Recovery ministry was founded in February 2024 at Northside Church of God in Muncie, IN. We hold an official certification through the global Celebrate Recovery® program founded by Saddleback Church in 1991. We meet every Tuesday starting at 6 PM at Northside Church of God for snacks, worship, a message or testimonial, and small group sessions.

The Northside CR ministry is a safe place to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power through the “8 Recovery Principles.” this experience allows us to “be changed.” We open the door to change by sharing our experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our live’s problems.

Our Vision

To help people find freedom from hurts, habits, and hang-ups including addictions, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors.
