CELEBRATE RECOVERY at Bridgeport UMC offers a safe place for all. Celebrate Recovery is a place where folks can relax, and focus on solutions to all of life's challenges. Those solutions come through our faith in Christ. Celebrate Recovery provides us God-given tools and principles to live by.
CR Bridgeport is an engaging service opportunity. With exciting contemporary worship and weekly testimonies or lessons, many come to find Wednesday evenings as their reprieve from the daily pressures of our culture and lives.
Celebrate Recovery is not just for substance use issues. In fact, that is the minority. If you struggle with bad habits, worry, depression, anger, resentment, or any of life's issues that pull us from our God-given potential, then CR is right for you.
Come check out Celebrate Recovery - you'll be glad that you did.

CHILDREN AND YOUTH MINISTRIES
Children and youth are an essential part of the life of Bridgeport United Methodist Church. Through learning, worship, music, and community, we seek to nurture faith in ways that are meaningful, age-appropriate, and grounded in God’s love. All children and youth ministries are led by trained volunteers and staff who follow our Safe Sanctuaries policies.

What it is
Children ages 3 through 5th grade are invited to Young Explorers, a weekly Bible study where faith is discovered through relationships, experience, and wonder.
