Grief Care

We are so thankful to be able to offer Grief Care. Grief Care was written and produced by one of our team, Jane Kratz. If you are grieving the death of a loved one, then we invite you to join this 9 week course in processing your grief.

The design of this grief group is relational because we serve a relational God. God has created us not only as relational but also physical beings who thrive on human contact and touch. This is particularly true in relation to the death of a loved one whose physical absence we are grieving. For this reason, our Grief Care course is offered as an in-person care group.

Our prayer is that you would come to know and experience more of the Comfort of God, both as you continue to grieve the death of your loved one and as you love and serve others in your grief.
