About Celebration Place
Celebration Place is Celebrate Recovery's Christ-centered ministry for children ages 5–13. Its mission is to help children experience the love of Jesus as they learn to love themselves and others while growing in their relationship with God.
The curriculum is the approved children's program for CR ministries and mirrors the lessons taught in Large Groups for adults — equipping children with healthy coping skills and partnering with parents to break the cycle of dysfunction in families.
Director: Sylvia Chesser
Who They Are
Celebration Place Reps — or CP Reps — are leaders who carry a heart for children and families. They serve as regional champions for the Celebration Place ministry, helping local churches understand, launch, and grow a healthy children's recovery program.
CP Reps know firsthand the difference this ministry makes — not just in children's lives, but in entire families. They bring that passion into every church they serve.
What They Do
Advocate for Children's Ministry
CP Reps champion the importance of reaching children with recovery principles early, helping churches see the lasting impact of investing in kids' spiritual and emotional health.
Partner with Parents
They help local ministries build strong connections with parents, supporting families as a whole and creating an environment where healing can happen at every generation.
Equip Local Leaders
CP Reps provide guidance on the Celebration Place curriculum, help train volunteers, and connect local leaders to the resources and support they need to run the program well.
Break Generational Cycles
By reaching children with the message of healing and hope, CP Reps help interrupt patterns of dysfunction before they take root — giving the next generation a different story.
