EXPERIENCE Jesus' Care and Healing

I look to Jesus and His people when I need healing, support and care.

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
(Galatians 6:2, NIV)

Freedom and Fulfillment

Freedom Session

Freedom Session is a healing-discipleship journey that uncovers the roots of pain in your life and invites Jesus Christ to heal those areas of your heart.

You’ll learn practical strategies to deal with real issues such as pornography, broken relationships, sexual woundedness and abuse, depression, anger, fear and various forms of addiction – freeing you from your “drugs of choice” — the things you use to attempt to escape the pain in your life.

Grief Share

Life can be hard – even before we’re hit by the pain of grief. But there’s help so you don’t get stuck in your grief. 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.
