  • Separated and Divorced Support Group

    “The Separated and Divorced Support Group is for individuals that have ended or are in the process of ending their marriage. This group is for people who see no means of reconciling their relationship with their spouse. If there is hope, the couple should seek out professional counseling and/or consider attending The Third Option.

    The Separated and Divorced Group lessons begin by focusing on the emotional roller-coaster that participants are experiencing. These lessons discuss loneliness, depression, and anger and how to deal with them constructively. Then the focus shifts to how to rebuild and those lessons focus on finances, children of the relationship, and forgiveness. God is considered a key factor in the healing from the divorce.

    A DVD series presents the information and then there is group discussion. No one is pressured to participate in the discussion, but it helps everyone in the group to grow by participating in a healthy discussion.

    Daycare is provided.”
