SUPPORT GROUPS
At Christ Church, we offer support groups for anyone seeking Christian encouragement and guidance while navigating life’s challenges.
GROUPS:
MARRIAGE MINISTRY
The marriage ministry meets once a month to discuss how to build a God centered lasting relationship. This ministry is for couples that have been married for many years or recently married, couples that have a good marriage and couples that feel stuck. The marriage ministry is for every marriage. Register below for more info.
THRIVING WITH ADD/ADHD
Be a part of a monthly care group for those diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. This will be in person and on Zoom.
CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP
While providing care and support for another is a privilege and often very rewarding, it can also be difficult and exhausting in many ways. The purpose of this group is to support and encourage caregivers as they journey through the ups and downs of this high calling.
