Southwest is fortunate to have many leaders involved in our Celebrate Recovery TEAM. Team is an acronym for the leadership positions within the Recovery program itself: (Unless otherwise noted: Coaches and Coordinators should have 1 year of recovery and worked through the 12 step or CR program)
Because this is such an involved ministry program, we ask all Volunteer Servants for a minimum 1 year commitment to a Celebrate Recovery role (attending weekly meetings – we know there will be times when someone is unavailable, but every effort should be made to attend at least 75% of weekly gatherings)
