Belong: “To fit in a specified place or environment.”
Belonging is an important part of our lives. Every human being has something that creates a sense of belonging in his or her life, and everyone needs a place and a people with whom they connect, a place to call “home.”A sense of belonging dictates our level of confidence. Try as we might, we cannot function without others, as we are social beings. The moment we are born and bonded with our parents, the social cycle of inclusion begins. Family, relatives, schools, friends, relationships, societies and work become a part of us. The people we connect with confirm our being and reinforce our culture and identity.
At Desert Stream we want you to discover a place where you can connect with others, a place where you belong and a family you fit in to. It is our sincere passion that you accept the invitation of Jesus to, “Cast all of your cares upon him for He cares for you!” We hope that you discover in Desert Stream a connection to a family and a place where you belong.
As you accept the invitation to connect with our family, it is our desire that you will discover that you “Belong” to God as well.
We have established the following, to provide access to our family no matter your age, or place in your journey with God. We invite you to try us on and discover a family you can call home.
“Celebrate Recovery” is a Christian 12-step recovery program started back in 1991. Since then, it has become the largest Christian 12-step recovery program in the world. Its incredible success is due in part to the premise of not just dealing with substance abuse or addictive behaviour, but instead, dealing with the root cause of “why” people make destructive choices. With Jesus Christ as your Higher Power, you can receive help for your issues as the love of God pushes out fear, insecurities, and helplessness.
We started running C.R in April 2011. Since then we have seen hundreds of people identify their struggle and find ongoing progress, as they go through the 12 step process with Jesus Christ. We have also witnessed such a transformation in people’s lives, that they have moved into places of leadership, helping others on their journey.
There are male and female small groups, which are more geared towards specific needs, as well as groups for general life issues. Celebrate Recovery is open to everyone over the age of 18 and runs every Monday evening at 7 pm [including holidays]. On the third Monday of each month we gather for a group dinner @ 6 pm ($3 donation towards this event is greatly appreciated). There is no childcare offered at this time. Join us at Desert Stream for C. R. and get your life back on track with the power of Jesus Christ…
