Are you in a place in your life where you need support, or perhaps you simply desire to serve and help others? In either case, a care group may be for you. Care Groups come in two varieties:
Support Groups offer a safe place for support, help, hope, and restoration for those struggling with past hurts and the wounds of life.
Help Groups provide multiple opportunities to follow the example of Jesus to live with a servant's heart and provide tangible help to those in need.
