Celebrate Recovery is a Biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. It is based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory. We'll be getting to know each other over coffee and discussing life issues.

During our meetings, we typically praise God in song, pray for each other, have Bible readings, listen to a Recovery-centered message, and go over some of the core principles of Celebrate Recovery.  Regardless of our uniquely individual "hurts, habits, or hang-ups," Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to seek God's help in our lives.

Heart 2 Heart is a ministry of San Antonio’s First Baptist Church and was founded on two simple principles:

• We all experience brokenness sometime in our life.
• There is healing in God’s Word.

Typical Support and Recovery Groups:

Groups typically include those listed below but can vary. Registration is required for each group.

Divorce Care
Will anyone accept you after your divorce? This group will. Take steps toward courage and wholeness with those who know how deeply divorce can cut.

Considering Forgiveness
Does forgiveness mean excusing harmful behavior? Is forgiveness necessary? Explore these difficult questions in a group that won't insult your dignity by minimizing or downplaying the hurt you have known.

Grief Share
Grief is a burden too heavy for anyone’s shoulders to bear alone. In this fellowship, you’ll find a group that stands by one another when the loss you’ve known bends you to the ground.

Men's Freedom Group
(meets year-round on Tuesdays)
We are a Christ-centered, 12-step self-help group providing a safe and confidential setting (apart from other H2H groups) for men recovering from sexual addiction. Our goal is to provide you with the support of fellow recovery travelers with once-weekly meetings year-round.

Journey to Restoration
This caring ministry creates a safe space for those who during childhood were abused, sexually, physically, emotionally, verbally, or by neglect.

Cancer Care
Facilitated by those who know cancer firsthand, the cancer support group aims to become a place of welcome, safety, and tenderness for you in a harsh and frightening time.

All groups are open to the community. You do not need to be a member of the church.

This tribe will go through the Conquer Series, the battle plan for purity.

This series is for any man who has ever struggled with:

• lust
• sexual addiction
• pornography

At some point, everyone will be tempted to sin sexually. How we respond can have severe consequences that may affect us for a long time.

This course is 10 weeks in duration with 1 day added for introduction and to sign confidentiality agreements. This will be an intimate time, a safe place, and serves men better when a commitment to attend is made. *Come join us as we learn together and conquer! 

Ultimately we want to help people who feel far from God to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.

Know Jesus, Cultivate Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference

The residential area home has been open since 2008 serving the needs of men in the community primarily suffering from drug and alcohol addictions. Men from all walks of life and ages and racial background receive personal and spiritual help following the 12 step Christian approach of Celebrate Recovery. Our Men’s Recovery home is also using a format of house rules and guidelines similar to the Oxford House national program, to help with learning self-governing and requirements of living as one group. We are proudly 501C-3 approved.

This approach includes biblical counseling, life application, parenting, and communication skills to better prepare them for the general society. There is additional focus on anger management, writing skills to assist in future job applications and additional one on one focus in their respective area of need. This program is free of charge to the residents that meet the proper requirements. The men make a commitment to use these tools to overcome the destructive power of alcohol and drug addictions.

Phase One

Our Phase One program prepares students to be disciples through a six-month course filled with Bible studies, service work in the community, and volunteer work for other non-profit organizations. The students also assist in the San Antonio Christian Church community soup kitchen as well as in their food pantry distributions.  

During this phase, we will also help students with ID recovery, if needed, to prepare them for the workplace and so they can transition into our Phase Two work program.  

The program has a productive daily routine that all must adhere to. Think of it as a Boot Camp for Life. Each day begins with prayer and Bible study.  The remainder of the day keeps residents active and engaged.

Students participate in Hands-On Training (HOT), which includes community service, evangelizing, and assisting other ministries.  We train students to be disciples of Jesus Christ through biblical truths.  This experience equips each one to live to the full potential God intended for their lives.

Phase Two

Our Phase Two program helps students find employment.  Participants then contribute 25% of their income toward room and board, as a way of giving back, keep 25% for their personal basic needs, and save 50% to eventually use towards transitioning back home with family or to begin independent living.

Our requirements:

• At-risk men
• A referral from a pastor or ministry is preferred
• To have and maintain the desire to change their life
• To have and maintain the ability to surrender

Phase 1: Nothing.
Phase 2: 25% of income.
