Jesus Christ is the ONLY higher power!
An online Christian Community specifically for those recovering
from life's hurts, habits and hang-ups!

New Comers meeting every night at 7:30 pm EST in the General Fellowship chat room,
guest welcome. Private small groups for members at 8:00 pm EST!

Christian Recovery Online is NOT a part of Celebrate Recovery. We are sponsored by The 4 Gospels Christian Network. We are a Christian Community specifically for those recovering from life's hurts, habits and hang-ups. Christian Recovery is a place for Christians in recovery to meet online and socialize with others in recovery. We are dedicated to promoting programs such as Celebrate Recovery and other Christ-based recovery that have changed the life of so many. It is true that those members can meet and socialize at other Christian sites, but not in an environment that is as private and secure as ours. Come join the fun in our well moderated 100% Christian Comunity.

Currently our main focus is to offer the most secure environment on the Interne for Christians the are in recovery to come together online for fellowship and Bible study . Your privacy is of utmost importance. Most daily events begin at 7:30 pm EST in the Fellowship room.

1 Co 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

Why Christian Recovery Online?

For those currently meeting face to face:

Basically we are a safe community for those recovering from there hurts, habits, and hang-ups to share 24/7. We are very little different from the CR groups on Facebook, except that we can offer more security, privacy, We a NOT here to replace your face-to-face meetings. In fact, if you are already attending a face-to- face group, we require that you continue with your meetings to remain a member here.
In addition to the private forums and chat rooms, we offer one-on-one private chat rooms for you and your sponsor to meet 24/7. This could be a benefit over a phone call in some cases. (e.g. your sponsor is a long distance call for you, you are on vacation and contact with your sponsor is long distance) The Internet is everywhere now.
We are an Internet Recovery Community so to speak.
As we grow you will meet people in recovery from around the world.

Road to Recovery

Christian Recovery Online forums are a Christian, Bible-based Internet ministry which is not a part of any one church group or denomination and is hosted by the 4 Gospels Christian Network.

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired Word of God (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). We hold the Bible to be inerrant in the original writings, infallible, God-breathed, the complete and final authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Holy Spirit was the divine author of Scripture (2 Peter 1:21). Their are no errors or contradictions.

We believe in one Triune God, who is Creator of all (Deuteronomy 6:4; Colossians 1:16), eternally existing in three distinct Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14), yet one in being, essence, power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections (John 10:30). God is our creator (Genesis 1:1), is eternal (Psalm 90:2), infinite (1 Timothy 1:17), sovereign (Psalm 93:1) and unsearchable (Romans 11:33-34). God is omniscient (Psalm 139:1-6), omnipresent (Psalm 139:7-13), omnipotent (Revelation 19:6), and unchanging (Malachi 3:6). God is holy (Isaiah 6:3), just (Deuteronomy 32:4), and righteous (Exodus 9:27). God is love (1 John 4:8), gracious (Ephesians 2:8), merciful (1 Peter 1:3), and good (Romans 8:28).

We believe the substitutionary and redemptive sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ for the sin of the world, through His literal physical death, burial, and bodily resurrection followed by His ascension into Heaven. And that because this sacrifice all that believe in Him shall have eternal life, (John 3:16; John 14:6).

We believe in the regeneration by the Holy Spirit as absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful men.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, (John 14:16; John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:7 ) by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live the Godly life.

We believe in our Lord Jesus Christ as being the one mediator between man and God (1 Titus 2:5)

We believe in personal salvation from the eternal penalty of sin, provided exclusively by the grace of God on the basis of the atoning death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be received only through individual faith in His Person and redemptive work on the cross, and to be followed with a life characterized by the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit, giving evidence in loving service and adherence to the principles and practices of the Christian Faith as set forth in the New Testament.

We believe in the future personal, return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth to judge and establish His eternal kingdom and to consummate and fulfill all His purposes, the works of creation, and redemption, with eternal reward for believers and eternal punishments for the unsaved.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ, and the evidence of that unity being shown by how we love one another and conduct our ministry.
