The Home League is just one of the programs of The Salvation Army that falls under the umbrella of Women's Ministries. It is a weekly program held in all Salvation Army Centers for Worship and is open to all women 16 years of age and older, regardless of race, color, or creed.Weekly programs are creative and interactive and include worship programs that promote spiritual growth and development; educational programs that focus on issues of interest to women; fellowship programs that provide times of laughter and fun, and service programs that provide an opportunity to give time and/or material assistance to various community programs and worldwide missions. One of the highlights for the women is the yearly weekend women's retreats held each Spring in various locations throughout the South. While all are different, they each provide a time for relaxation, recreation, fellowship and spiritual renewal.

The purpose of the Celebrate Recovery ministry is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the "8 Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be changed." By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power.
Eight Recovery Principles
based on the BEATITUDES
by Pastor Rick Warren
Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.
"Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor"
Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to him, and that he has the power to help me recover.
"Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted"
Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control.
"Happy are the meek"
Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.
"Happy are the pure in heart"
Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects.
"Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires"
Evaluate all my relationships; Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others except when to do so would harm them or others.
"Happy are the merciful" "Happy are the peacemakers"
Reserve a daily time with God for self examination, Bible readings and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.
Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.
"Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires"
