Our Story

Celebrate Recovery started in 1991 as a ministry of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. Founder John Baker shared with Senior Pastor Rick Warren a vision God had given John for a new ministry where people could find freedom from their hurts, hang-ups, and habits.

With John and his wife Cheryl leading the ministry, on the first night, 43 people attended, and Celebrate Recovery was officially born. Today, over 27,000 people have gone through the program at Saddleback Church.

There are now 35,000+ churches with a Celebrate Recovery ministry, plus Celebrate Recovery is found in recovery houses, rescue missions, universities, and prisons around the world. We are a part of something much larger than one church’s recovery ministry. Celebrate Recovery continues to be a growing global movement.

The need for Celebrate Recovery is unmistakable, being a safe place for people to find freedom from the issues controlling their lives.
