Open Share Small Groups

After the Large Group Gathering, we divide by gender for open-share small groups.  It is in these small groups that one begins to find healing and victory as you share with others about the struggles and victories you are experiencing.  These groups make anonymity and confidentiality an essential value so you can know this is a safe place to be honest and real.

Celebrate Recovery takes place every Tuesday night in the gym at Nampa First Church of the Nazarene.

Celebrate Recovery is a safe place for individuals and families to find help and healing as they work to overcome the ‘hurts, hang-ups, and habits’ that control their lives.  

Large Group Gatherings

We start with a Large Group Gathering which involves songs that encourage and inspire, responsive readings of the 12 Steps or the 8 Principles of Recovery, and either a testimony by one experiencing victory in their recovery or a lesson to encourage one on in their recovery.
