SUPPORT GROUPS

Support groups are made up of people who desire to walk with others for a time to share encouragement in specific areas of challenge in their lives. These facilitated groups meet once or twice monthly.

Parent Groups

Parents Together

First Wednesdays @ 9–11 am  (after PELC dropoff) during the school year, on campus (700/gym building)

Want to get to know other parents and families in the community? Stop by or join us online for conversation and connection with parents of all ages. Drop by & stay as long as you are able. Younger children are welcome! For questions, email Carol.

LGBTQ+ Groups

Family and Friends of LGBTQ+ Group

Last Monday of the month (sometimes the 5th Monday), 7–8:30 pm, over Zoom

Join other parents, friends, and allies as we provide a safe space to share, ask questions, and affirm each other's journeys. Hosted by Carol Heath, Director of Community Life, who cares deeply about the Queer community and wants to share space with others who need care. We will grow together and educate one another as we support and affirm our LGBTQ+ loved ones. All are welcome from the church and the community.

 

For more information and Zoom link information, email Carol.

Queer Fellowship Group

Meets monthly

We seek to cultivate a safe, vibrant and fun fellowship space for our LGBTQ+ community members that honors an abundant God who loves us. For access to the group, please fill out this information form and group leaders will be in touch!

 

This monthly fellowship group is geared toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary, and Queer people. We welcome the participation of both young and old, single and partnered, twink and bear, butch and femme, those with and without kids, as well as our hetero allies and friends. We are better together.

 

We are a fun space to cultivate friendships through various gatherings and outings, as well as a safe space for those seeking a spiritual refuge. We honor the risen Christ by supporting each other, through spiritual growth, and with the opportunity to volunteer and serve the wider community.

 

In short, we are pretty awesome. More importantly: so are you.

 

We welcome those who wish to remain anonymous and to those who are questioning their sexuality. Please email the Queer Fellowship leaders let us know how we can facilitate your participation.

Other Support Groups

Grief Support Group

2nd & 4th Sundays of the month @ 1 pm, over Zoom

If you've lost a loved one and are walking the journey of grief, come join others in a Zoom space where it's okay to not be okay. Tears, laughter, and the presence of others who also know loss will help ease the pain and provide a way to experience the love of God. Led by Pastor Annanda. You'll find the link on our Zoom Links page, or you can email Karlee with any questions.
