WHAT IS A STEP STUDY?
Maybe you’ve heard us talk about a “Step Study” and thought…
What exactly is that? And is it for me?
A Step Study is where we take the 12 Steps and 8 Recovery Principles of Celebrate Recovery and actually work through them… one step at a time.
It’s more than attending a meeting.
It’s a small, confidential group where you have the opportunity to slow down, dig deeper and allow God to show you what’s underneath the hurts, habits and hang-ups you’ve been carrying.

And you don’t have to have an addiction to need one.
Some people walk into a Step Study because of anger.
Some because of grief.
Some because of codependency.
Some because of anxiety, control, shame, resentment, relationship struggles or childhood wounds.
And some just know…
“There are things in my life I’m tired of carrying.”
A Step Study isn’t about fixing yourself overnight.
It’s about giving God access to the places you’ve spent years trying to manage on your own.
You come as you are… and you walk the journey with people who are doing the same.
That’s a Step Study

Every recovery journey has a beginning.

For many of us, this blue chip represents something much bigger than what we can hold in our hands. It represents a decision to take that first step to admit that we need help, to stop trying to do life alone, and to begin trusting Jesus Christ with our recovery.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the doors of Celebrate Recovery. You don’t need 30 days, 90 days, or years of recovery behind you. You just need a Day 1.

Maybe today is your Day 1.

At Celebrate Recovery, you can experience hope and healing from life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits while Jesus Christ leads the way.

The journey begins with one step. Are you ready to take yours?

🌟 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: Jessica & Shelley 🌟

❤️ A Mother-Daughter Team Making a Difference!

Today we’re shining the spotlight on Jessica and Shelley, a mother-daughter team who have been volunteering at the Chatham Community Hope Centre since June!

Together, they help with inventory and our Drop-In, giving their time, pitching in wherever needed, and building relationships with the people who come through our doors.

So, what do they love about volunteering?

“It’s a great feeling to be able to help people, stay busy, and be part of the community. We’ve also met some really great people along the way.”

One of their favourite parts has been spending time in the Drop-In and getting to know guests.

“The people we meet are so appreciative. Even the smallest things can make someone’s day, and that makes volunteering really rewarding.”

That’s what volunteering at the Hope Centre is all about, showing up, lending a hand, and building relationships. 🙌

We’re so grateful to have Jessica and Shelley as part of our volunteer family! 💙

Want to get involved? We’re always looking for more volunteers!

IT TAKES A COMMUNITY ❤

Throughout the month of September, we will be sharing 60+ community partners, organizations and businesses that R.O.C.K. is proud and grateful to work with on a regular basis.

Teamwork, collaboration and community support are so important, as we recognize that no one organization can address complex issues like houselessness, substance use and mental health alone.

You will notice that at the centre of each of these lists are people with lived and living experience (PWLE). All of the work that R.O.C.K. does is informed and led by PWLE of houselessness and substance use. Their experiences provide valuable insight into the realities of houselessness and substance use, helping us better understand barriers, identify gaps and develop approaches that are respectful, practical and responsive to the people we serve.

God loves you! Bring a friend, keep coming back, and remember—recovery is a process! ❤️
