Care Groups


CARE/ADULTS

Whether it’s a conflict in your marriage, an addiction, an illness, a death in the family, or another emotionally difficult issue, life can quickly feel unmanageable.

Grief Share

GriefShare is a special 13-week Video/Support group for those who have lost loved ones. It’s a safe place where people understand how you feel and the pain of your loss. We know it hurts, and we want to help. You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is “self-contained”, so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. You will be able to continue with GriefShare through the next cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen.

Marriage Reconciliation Class

This is for couples who are seeking help but desiring reconciliation.

This Christ-centered 13 week program helps you to place your focus and energy into areas that can first help you remain/become healthy and whole in the midst of a crisis, and commonly becomes the foundational keys to turning around a troubled marriage.

The next session begins August 21st, 6:45pm in the Treehouse (brick house next to the Learning Cottages).
