LifeCare Kids and Teens offers support for families experiencing challenging circumstances such as divorce, death, addiction, chronic illness, and remarriage. Topics covered include emotions, grief, choices, and family dynamics.

LifeCare Kids and Teens works to teach kids how to communicate their feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and recognize the impact of the choices they make in life, all while looking at examples in Scripture of how God uses our imperfections for His glory. LifeCare Kids and Teens utilizes playful activities and creative crafts to help reiterate the primary lesson of the evening.

CR4Kids

This 52-week program supports Celebrate Recovery’s one-year, large-group teaching schedule and curriculum plan. CR4Kids is led by various facilitators and meets on the second floor in the Children’s Wing. This support program helps children, 4-12 years, learn healthy ways to deal with life’s pain and stresses. Since studies show children learn concepts quicker through play, our curriculum includes monthly lessons through games and activities
on topics such as gratitude, trust, self-control and many more during the year. We also reinforce the topic lessons with a special weekly activity of either holy yoga, an art project, or music. The end of each topic is celebrated with a movie night on the last Thursday of each month.

CR4Teens

This program helps teenagers who are struggling with life-controlling hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Designed for 7th through 12th grade students, CR4Teens has everything needed to lead young people in making Jesus the foundation of their lives, avoiding or breaking cycles of dysfunction, and experiencing God’s incredible forgiveness and healing. CR4Teens is a program that helps teenagers travel the path to freedom, healing and wholeness. This dynamic resource mirrors the content presented in the successful Celebrate Recovery program.

LifeTools Cafe

LifeTools Cafe provides a family dining experience with pizza and salad for LifeTools families and meets Monday nights in the Atrium from 5:45-6:20 p.m.
