FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH COVINGTON
CELEBRATE RECOVERY FOR ADULTS 18 AND UP
Celebrate Recovery is a ministry for everyone who desires to
develop life skills to handle the daily pressures of life. Have you
ever allowed the hurts, habits and hang-ups to get you down? If
so, then Celebrate Recovery is a place that can help you and your
family. How about giving God a chance to work through your
hurts, habits and hang-ups. We meet at FBC Covington every Tuesday night in the Worship
Center. Large group worship, lessons or testimonies meet from 7:00–8:00 and open share
small groups from 8:00–9:00, facilitated by some of God’s choice servants. Childcare for
birth through 5th graders is provided and children in the 6th – 12th grade can join us in The
Landing. Confidentiality is respected.
THE LANDING FOR STUDENTS 6th -12th GRADE
The Landing is a ministry where students are loved. It is one of the best gifts a parent, grandparent, guardian could give to their child. The students come just as they are to be equip to
make Godly choices that lead to a lifestyle that allows them to reach their full potential in this
life. We meet every Tuesday from 7:00–9:00 PM in Kids Worship. An orientation for parents,
grandparents and guardians is offered and confidentiality is respected.
VOLUNTEERS
If you are interested in serving in this ministry- greeters, door openers, cooks, encouragers
and share group facilitators are needed. We will get you trained so you will be equipped
to serve. For more information about any of these ministries or to volunteer, please contact
