Celebrate Recovery meetings are similar to those of other twelve-step programs, one difference is in their focus on Christianity. The program stresses that there is no other Higher Power except for Jesus. Another difference is that Celebrate Recovery does not require one to conform to a singleness of purpose declaration, a member does not have to qualify oneself as an alcoholic, addict, or gambler - there are no requirements for membership. You may attend with a desire to work the steps for healing with any number of hurts, hang-ups or habits (compulsive behaviors). The meeting starts promptly at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 8:00 p.m. Recovery meetings is held at: Zion Lutheran Church, 2062 East 30th Street, Cleveland. Further information can be answered by contacting Rev. Jim Weist at 216-561-2511 or by email OR Rev. Jeff Johnson at 216-281-1700 or by email.

Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings meet at St. Peter’s weekly.

St. Peter’s helps to train and equip lay members for church planting. Pastor Weist provides preaching, teaching, and outreach opportunities for lay leaders. We also partner with Building Hope in the City to seek out opportunites for new churches in Cleveland. We meet monthly at different churches to pray about and plan for future church plants. We work with other churches seeking ways to allow members to use their gifts to proclaim Jesus to the world.

Our church is in a community that has over 80,000 Jews. We look for opportunites to work with and connect with the Jewish Community. We have had worship, training, and bible studies on how to connect with our jewish brothers and sisters. Our desire is to look for ways to let Jews know that Jesus (Yeshua) is the promised messiah of both the Jew and the gentile. As we are told by Paul in Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jews, then for the Gentile.”
