The Life Skills and Support Ministry offers a variety of support and educational groups. Here, we learn how into incorporate God into the daily struggles we are facing. Whether seeking a job, losing weight, recovering from an addiction or managing symptoms of mental illness, we all need a safe place to talk, learn, and listen. You are not alone; we all need others to conquer strongholds in our lives. We provide Christian leadership and support and will join you in your path of becoming who God has created and destined you to be. We offer support groups in two different formats:
Open support groups are open for anyone to attend at any time of the year. These groups do not require that you sign-up in advance to come. A list of these groups can be found on the right side of this page or visit our Life Skills & Support Blog for more info.
Growth Groups are groups that require registration and close after a certain number of people have enrolled. Due to the focus of these Growth Groups, confidentiality and commitment are key, requiring groups to limit the number of enrollments they can accept. More information about these Growth Groups can be found by clicking on a leader's name below.
