Care Groups 

GriefShare. The death of a loved one can be overwhelmingly disorienting. Finding someone to be with you and help you sort through the loss can be difficult. In GriefShare, you will find support and understanding in the pain, loss, and myriad of emotions in grieving. Marguerite Robinson. Tuesdays, 6:30 p.m.

Divorce Care. Find support and understanding during the pain and disruption of separation and divorce. You’ll become part of a small group that understands some of what you are experiencing. Your small group will be able to offer encouragement and care during difficult times. Linda Knight. Tuesdays, 6:30 pm.

Divorce Care 4 Kids. DC4K helps children to understand and put words to what they are feeling during the transition of divorce. Jenny Steward. Tuesdays, 6:30 pm.

Healthy Boundaries. Healthy Boundaries help you to define who you are and who you aren't. As a Christian, it can be difficult to know when setting limits is being loving. Jesus set limits by saying no to many people and also by getting away to be alone with the Father. Learn to follow His example and grow healthier relationships. Kerry Morrell. Tuesdays, 6:30 pm. 

Boundaries II. Boundaries II will help you learn to handle difficult conversations well. Most see confrontation as scary or adversarial rather than the means to decrease tension and increase understanding. Positive confrontation actually improves relationships. You'll learn: the essentials of a good boundary setting conversation, how to prepare, how to state your desires, and how to request hurtful behavior to discontinue. 

Safe People. Safe People will help you make wise choices in relationships from friendship to romance. You'll be taught how to have a healthy 'chooser’' in relationships. Also, you'll learn the 20 traits of unsafe people, what makes people untrustworthy, how to avoid unhealthy relationships and form positive ones, and how to be a safe person yourself.

Changes That Heal. Changes That Heal will help you understand your past to ensure a healthier future. There are biblical solutions for your struggles with depression, anxiety, panic, addictions, and guilt; these solutions lie in connecting with God and understanding certain basic developmental tasks. Understanding your story and the impact on your soul will help you grow by learning to bond, be separate, make decisions as an adult, and live with your own good and bad. Kerry Morrell. Tuesdays, 6:15 pm.  

Process Oriented Groups

Knowing Your Story (Fall 2008). Ever wonder what in the world God is up to in your life? Is there really a pattern or direction in all that's gone on? In this group, you'll learn how to listen to your own story and hear God throughout. He is your Author and desires for you to join in co-authoring the rest of your story.

Marriages Restored Weekly. Marriages Restored Weekly is a follow-up group for the Marriages Restored Conference. Couples have different topics to reflect on during the week and to talk through together. During the weekly gathering couples share their journey — good and difficult — with the group. The topics covered are: Anger and Communication, Betrayal and Trust, Distance and Intimacy, Grace and Forgiveness, Family of Origin, Gender, Guilt and Shame, Intimacy, and Grief.

Every So Often. Marriages Restored Conference. This conference is for those couples experiencing more struggle than closeness in their marriage.
 
You'll hear stories and talk through your own story with your spouse. We (Ben and Ann Wilson) have been leading these conferences for the past decade. We tell our story of tragedy, betrayal, and redemption in our marriage on Friday night. We may have another couple sharing their redemptive story as well. On Saturday, we talk a little, and you spend the majority of the time talking with your spouse. Yep, it's a little scary but man is it usually good. We set things up, give you some questions to reflect and write on, and then you share with one another. It's the most many of the couples have talked — in a healthy manner — in a long time.
