Grief and Recovery Ministry

The Grief and Recovery ministry is designed to help individuals deal with the emotional suffering caused by trouble, remorse, the loss of a loved one, mental anguish and/or deep sorrow. 

Grief is not only a unique individual process, it is a long, time consuming one as well.  It is important to recognize that emotions, however uncomfortable and troubling, are normal and natural responses to grief.  You can find life beyond loss -- a changed life, but life nevertheless.

Support meetings are every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. The support group meeting is open to any individual that wants to come out and be a part of an uplifting, spiritual, and encouraging support group. You come in one way but leave up lifted and encouraged in the Lord.
