We will put you in touch with the individual ministry leader.
Grief Group
Are you experiencing grief over the loss of a loved one? Times of grief can be very lonely and emotionally painful. We strive to create a small group environment where grief can be shared with others who are experiencing similar losses and where connections of understanding and support can be made with other church members.
Our small groups of 5-6 participants meet every other week for six sessions in the intimate setting of our prayer room. The groups last for 90 minutes and are facilitated by two retired mental health professionals.
If you would be interested in participating in a group or have any questions, please call either Claudia McCoy (336-944-4465) or Andee Gable (336-209-4557).
