Support Groups
A central feature of the Christian gospel is acknowledging what you are not able to do on your own. That is not just a statement for what it means to become a Christian – it colors our entire Christian walk. The Support Groups at The Heights exist to come along side people in their place of need: whether that is the loss of a loved one, marriage issues, addiction, “hurts, habits or hang-ups,” these ministries offer a community to walk with you and pursue healing in the time of need.
Support Groups Offered
Celebrate Recovery
The Celebrate Recovery program involves eight principles from the beatitudes of the New Testament, and 12 biblical steps to recovery. This program is distinctly Christian, uncompromisingly biblical, and proven to work within the church. It has clearly brought people together to discover a new level of care, acceptance, trust, and grace. For those who seek to mature spiritually, making better decisions that will help them become Christ-like in character. It is designed as a program to help those struggling with hurts, habits, and hang-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through a recovery process. We meet on Mondays at 7pm in the Youth Center (Dinner at 6pm).
Learn MoreDivorceCare
If you are divorced, currently separated, or considering divorce this class is for you. Most people will tell you that separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they’ve ever faced. It’s a confusing time when you feel isolated and have lots of questions about issues you’ve never faced before. DivorceCare meets weekly on Monday nights from 6-8pm here at church to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. The format for the course is video and discussion driven. This is an open class meaning you are free to begin at any time during the series. Many people join us throughout the 13 weeks and just attend the classes they may have missed when the next session begins.
Learn MoreGriefShare
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. GriefShare seminars and support groups are led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. You’ll gain access to valuable GriefShare resources to help you recover from your loss and look forward to rebuilding your life.
TIMES:
GriefShare will meet weekly starting April 7th on Sunday afternoons from 1:30-3:30pm in room C122 (13 week program)
