Outcomes & Measures: (self-reported)

Outcome 1
For participants in recovery to attend the Celebrate Recovery (R) worship service and track their spiritual development.

Measure
We make a count of participants who are in the worship service and do observational studies on participant needs and reactions. We then design future worship experiences based on expressed needs (e.g. the need for individual prayer during worship which is now a regular practice).

Outcome 2
To mark participants' anniversary dates of when they began their recovery. This is to encourage daily sobriety and provide wholistic support.

Measure
We provide a sign up for anniversary dates and to acknowledge these dates in the worship services as well as in the support groups. The marking of these anniversary dates is with plastic and bronze coins that indicate the number of months and years of their sobriety.

Outcome 3
To maximize participants' attendance in our weekly recovery groups.

Measure
We track the number of men and women who attend each group as well as indicate who is new.

Outcome 4
To compliment and collaborate with the maximum number of agencies in order to give support and bring awareness of community unity in helping addicts and their families.

Measure
We interface with agency representatives regularly to gain regular monthly feedback as to how Celebrate Recovery (R) is helping their clientele.

Outcome 5
To meet the social and spiritual needs of children of addicted families as thir parents attend worship and support groups at Celebrate Recovery (R).

Measure
1) We keep a tally of the number of children served weekly; 2) a set agenda for the evening is implemented with curriculum and time for prayer and relationship buidling; 3)Observational studies are done weekly to evaluate how the volunteer staff is meeting the needs of the children served.

Change Process: (self-reported)

The program promotes a process of gradual positive spiritual and social change. The Celebrate Recovery(R) model of worship, support groups and cafe time (done all in one evening weekly all year long)facilitates opportunities for participants to share their burdens, mistakes and needs publicly and confidentially. We connect them to mentors, counselors and churches that will embrace and support them through their life issues. As a result, we have seen nine years of miraculous healing and hope amongst scores of our participants who now continue in sobriety and healthy living. For example, one of our paricipants is now six years clean, gone through formal ministry training and oversees our Celebrate Recovery (R)prison ministry. He also oversees another non-profit prison ministry in collaboration with ours. He and his team are reaching hundreds
