Divorce Care
DivorceCare is a 13-week discussion/video group covering the different aspects of divorce. This is a time to reflect on reasons for the divorce, and to consider a biblical perspective for building a new life in the Christian community. Sharing about the difficulties of divorce with others who are going through the same thing brings resolution and hope for the future.
GriefShare

maturity and productive ministry involvement. Sexual Integrity is a six-week

it takes to find their way out of involvement with pornography and into
