Grief Recovery (Room 13)

Did you know that you cannot know happiness until you know grief? But, who wants to grieve? Not many people set aside a time to get together and grieve. Grief is the God-given way to move us back to reality after we have suffered a loss. Grief helps us face the fact that we need to ask God to help us let go of someone we cannot keep and allow Him to give us something that will not leave. We have a safe place for you to grow, share, connect and heal.

Substance Abuse Recovery (Room 16)

We invite you to be a part of our growing recovery family - we offer you warmth, friendship, and connections with others who happen to be addicted to substances. We travel the road to healing and sobriety together. Join others who are fighting the good fight. Many participants engage in this group in addition to their AA meetings. You are welcome here. We use a 12- step program with biblical comparisons.

Women's C.A.R.E Recovery (Room 17)

C - Co-Dependency A - Abuse R - Relationships E - Emotions

Have you ever been pushed, hit, kicked, and treated like an object sexually? Have your feelings been ignored; your beliefs, class, values been ridiculed? This is abuse and it causes emotional problems, spiritual problems, illness, low self-esteem, isolation, co-dependency, and depression for you. Your children are fearful and have an increased risk of being abused. His low self-esteem and his beliefs of power and control through violence are enabled. You can learn to break the cycle.

Anger Management (Room 19)

Many of us display "road rage" from time to time, but what if it's more than occasional? And what about the rage in the rest of our lives? Anger can be a healthy emotion, that helps protect us and others from danger, but aggression through action, language, violence and abuse can damage our friendships, our marriages, our careers and ourselves. Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between controlling our anger and suppressing it, and finding the real roots of it can be challenging. Members of this group learn how to deal with this emotion as well as sharing success stories.

Divorce Recovery (Room 17)

We will be leading you through the book Growing Through Divorce by Jim Smoke. When you are a participant of Divorce Recovery you will be encouraged heal, develop a healthy support system, give yourself permission to feel feelings, learn to provide care and support for children and learn to take care of yourself. You can survive this pain and transform a hurtful ending into a spiritually healthy beginning.

Chronic Pain (Room 17)

This group utilizes the information available through The Chronic Pain Workbook Second Edition and other recognized pain management resources. It is a step-by-step guide for coping with and overcoming pain. Participants have the opportunity through our website to discuss their needs, connect with others, and share stories and valuable resources. Chronic Pain members meet the first and third Thursday nights of each month at 7:00 p.m. This group does not meet on Sunday evenings.
