COUNSELOR LED GROUPS
Counselor led groups are a fee-based service and they are led by professional counselors here at the church.
Co-dependency Group
Do you assume responsibility and/or feel guilty for others’ feelings and behaviors? Do you have difficulty identifying what you are feeling or have difficulty expressing them? Do you minimize, alter, or deny how you truly feel? Do you judge everything you think, say, or do harshly, as never “good enough?” Maybe your are a perfectionist? Do you compromise your own values and integrity to avoid rejection or others’ anger?
Codependency is the false sense of trying to control interior feelings by controlling people, things, and events on the outside. To the codependent, control or the lack of control is central to relationships and all aspects of life.

Family Camps
Family Camps provide an opportunity to spend a day enriching your knowledge base for the parenting style you have while your child has opportunity to experience sensory rich activities with other children of similar age. Another part of this camp experience is multi-family group times when each family has some great experiential times together that enrich the family relationships. Family camps are held around the type of family formation present such as foster/adopt, blended or biological.
COST is $150 per family this includes lunch and the all day camp 9 am-4 pm.

Father Wounds
"A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling."
Psalm 68:5
F2F-Father to the Fatherless captures the essence of who we are as women, and more explicitly, daughters, and how our relationship with our fathers give current perspective on God, relationships and purpose. The group dynamic will allow for others to hear the stories that need to be explored, shared, and healed.
