Support Groups

DivorceCare
If you are experiencing the trauma of separation or divorce and may feel that you are alone in this struggle, we invite you to join us this fall for a powerful, life-changing support group called DivorceCare. Beginning late August, DivorceCare is a biblically based 13-week support group comprised of video teaching and peer support.

Led by both a male and female facilitator, the sessions include insight from the country's foremost leaders in the field of divorce recovery as well as insightful testimony from previous participants. Study guides are included at a cost of $15.00 and scholarships are available. DivorceCare meets Tuesday @ 6:30 in our parlor (across from the Chapel). Contact Ruth Lee or call at 584-8983, Ext. 22 for additional information.


DC4K – DivorceCare for Kids
DC4K is a biblically-based program for children ages 5-12 struggling with the hurt and pain of their parents' separation and divorce. DC4K meets each Tuesday at 6:30 in our chapel (across from the parlor) and runs concurrently with the ongoing DivorceCare for adults. The group is open to kids whose parents are now or have been previously involved with the DivorceCare ministry. Siblings are encouraged to attend together and ages may be adjusted to accommodate them.

To register a child, please contact Laura at 226-0581 (h) or 229-3518 (w).
