Upcoming Women’s Support Groups
All women in need of support and healing from trauma and abuse are welcome.
Authentic Hope
In a safe and supportive space, women learn about the complex dynamics of abuse and trauma, the freedom and love Jesus wants to give them, Biblical truths about abuse and healing, and ways to heal from trauma and abuse. We will also talk about how trauma affects our brain and how to return to joy from difficult experiences.
Addresses for in-person support group locations will be given to registered participants.
Please join us for this life-changing step towards wholeness.

Upcoming Men’s Support Groups
For men who want to navigate the journey of healing from trauma and abuse
Getting Real
(Authentic Hope group for men)
Empowering Men to Live Out Their True Identity
Men, our brains are a very powerful organ in our bodies. Our daily actions and reactions are both conscious and unconscious. Many times we don't understand why we respond the way we do and it feels difficult to change our behavior. In this group, together we will discover how our environment and experience shape our thoughts and emotions and how to better manage them. In this 9-week support group, we will use Biblical truths and cutting-edge neuroscience to heal areas many of us never knew we needed.
