When you feel alone in the midst of your circumstances, join others to gain support, strength, and to experience God’s care.
Care groups are organized around people with similar life experiences. Each group focuses on helping its members mature and grow in Christ through support, listening, learning, and praying together. Lay people, trained through the Lay Care Ministry, facilitate the Care Groups.
