Freedom from addiction

Celebration Church in Belleview offers a 12-step ministry for people looking to reclaim their lives from addiction. Led by husband-and-wife team Kenneth and Kim Lunday, the program, Celebrate Recovery, offers weekly Tuesday night meetings designed to help people on the road to recovery.

The toll of addiction affects people everywhere. It’s not limited to any race or creed, or to people of a certain income or background. It’s why Celebrate Recovery aims to expand their outreach by hosting a special event on Saturday, May 11.

This event will feature many of the success stories from people who graduated from the program to beat their addictions. But the battle against addiction for many is a life-long struggle, one that takes constant vigilance. The methods of the Celebrate Recovery program are designed to create a foundation that can hopefully carry people throughout their lives.

For some people, their lives are often tragically cut short. Those individuals will be remembered and memorialized as who they were in totality. They were more than their addiction, but were spouses, loved ones, friends, and members of the community.

The event is free and open to the public, with music, food, activities for kids, vendors, and a raffle drawing.
