Registration is now open HERE.
GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.
If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before. GriefShare seminars and support groups are led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help you find healing.
PORCHLIGHT | MONDAYS AT 6:30 PM | GLASS ROOM
Many families in our church share the same private struggle: a child or loved one who has wandered from God and fallen into addiction or a pattern of poor choices. PorchLight, a care group that helps families navigate the chaos, was birthed by Brad and Lisa Hyde out of their own experience as parents of a child who struggles with addiction.
PorchLight is a ministry for the loved ones of those struggling with addictions. Whether a child, spouse, sibling, or parent: PorchLight is for any who are suffering along with their addicted loved one. We meet weekly on Mondays, and you are welcome anytime.
