About CR for Students
CR for Students is Celebrate Recovery's ministry for junior and senior high school students. It provides a safe place for students to process life and the struggles that come with it — giving them tools to live emotionally and spiritually healthy lives and pointing them toward the freedom found in Jesus Christ.
The curriculum mirrors the adult CR program, packaged specifically for students. A typical night includes Connect Time, Worship, Teaching Time, Small Group, and Fellowship Time.
