God created each of us with a need for family, community, and friendship. When people connect, it fills needs, builds character, expands perspective, and encourages stability. Plus, it is just more fun doing life together. We believe God has designed our journey through life to go better together!

GRACE GROUP

A support group/study for those dealing with mental health concerns, that will help you live the life God intended for you. Materials used are provided by Grace Alliance where they incorporate “innovative biblical truths, scientific research, and practical tools” to help us reach a stable emotional balance. According to research 1 in 4 Americans suffers from a mental health disorder such as anxiety, panic, depression, OCD, or substance use. Stigma is a thing of the past; many are now coming forward and getting the help they need to live healthy productive lives. 

GRIEFSHARE

 GriefShare is a biblically based support program open to anyone who has recently or not so recently lost a loved one. Every week we view a video dealing with a different aspect of grief. Following the video, we have a group discussion about that particular topic. All those in the videos and those attending the sessions have experienced the loss of a loved one and can relate to what you are going through. Grieving is a very difficult process, and we hope you will join us.
