What are Care Groups?

Stuck? Stuck in your finances? Stuck in your marriage? Stuck in a season of grief or difficult circumstances? Life is hard, and sometimes we need to lean on others to help us engage our faith and move forward. Care Groups provide a space to connect with a community of faith that provides understanding and support during some of life’s more challenging seasons.

Care Groups will provide four areas of focus, including:



  • Life Care - A biblically-based program to help participants find hope, healing, and freedom from any type of addiction, struggle, hurt, or destructive pattern
  • Faith 101 - A 10-week program utilizing Rooted, a discipleship experience that inspires questions, conversations, and experiences designed to connect people to God, the Church, and their purpose
  • Divorce Care - A 13-week program utilizing official DivorceCare curriculum to guide people on the path of recovery and hope after separation or divorce
  • Financial Care - A 9-week program utilizing Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University curriculum, offering a proven plan to pay off debt fast and build wealth
