What Is a Step Study?
A Step Study is a deep, transformative journey through the 12 Steps and 8 Recovery Principles based on the Beatitudes from the Bible. It’s not just another class or support group—it’s a personal commitment to real healing.
Step Studies are gender-specific, confidential small groups that meet weekly for an extended period (typically 9–12 months). Participants walk through the Celebrate Recovery curriculum, unpacking past hurts, destructive habits, and hang-ups with honesty, courage, and support. It’s where the real work of recovery begins—and lasting change happens.
Why Step Study Matters
Ready for lasting change?
A Step Study is your roadmap. It moves you beyond simply understanding the principles to actively living them. In a safe, confidential group, you’ll embark on a guided journey to unpack your past, confront your present, and build a stronger future.
This isn’t just another meeting; it’s a deep, transformative process that fosters true healing and freedom from old patterns.
By working the steps intentionally with others, you gain insights and support you can’t find alone.
