CELEBRATE RECOVERY
Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. It is based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory. Venice Church now offers a Celebrate Recovery program based on the same principles originally developed by Saddleback Church 25 years ago.

OUTREACH MINISTRY
Outreach is reaching out, most often cross-culturally, with the purpose of making the Gospel heard. Domestic Outreach (DO) is done within our own country; Global Outreach (GO) is done outside of our borders. We believe that both domestic and global outreach are ordinary, integral parts of every Christian life.
PRAYER MINISTRY
The Prayer Ministry goal is for every Christian to experience the joy and privilege of speaking to and hearing from our loving GOD. Through active and alive prayer that seeks after GOD’s will our love relationship with GOD grows as we experience more of GOD’s heart for people. We pray to discern more of HIS will for our lives. We pray for one another, partnering with GOD to work through HIS power to bring transformation in our lives and healing of our physical and spiritual selves. We pray in this time of such conflict in our nation and in the world to bring GOD’s healing and restoration to all people through acknowledgement, confession and repentance of sin in our lives and in our nation and world. We pray for people's physical and spiritual needs after Sunday services or during special Church events or visiting those who are not able to come to Church. Volunteers also pray for requests submitted that people submit to our "prayer chain". For more information please see the Prayer Ministry description found in the "Ministries" dropdown list.

MARRIAGE FELLOWSHIP
But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate. — Mark 10:6-9
