HOPE GROUPS
It's OK to not be OK. Life can be overwhelming and push us beyond our limits. Even though life is hard, it can be different. It can get better with Christ and community. Our weekly, on-campus Hope Groups will help you learn and apply Biblical principles to cope with and address specific relationships, struggles, hurts, hang-ups and habits.
Grace Kids Care for children ages 6 weeks through 5th grade is available for on campus participants. Registration is required and space is limited in each group.

Many women hide the secret of abortion deep in their hearts and they are suffering severe consequences. If you feel you have never completely healed or recovered from an abortion experience, or that a past abortion may be affecting your current quality of life, then join us for Surrendering the Secret.
This small group study offers an 8-step biblical healing process modeled by women who have been where you are. Surrendering the Secret is designed to bring women together who understand the need for seeking peace with the past and desire a better understanding of God's plan for making the most painful losses of our past work for His glory!
