Groups

Why Join a Group? 

Affiliation with others plays a key role in fight-or-flight responses to stress.  When group members face challenges, they work together as a source of support through:

  1. Belonging – members get a sense of being part of a valued group allowing reassurance that they are learning, growing, and facing issues with other people lessening the feeling of loneliness.
  2. Emotional Support – group members share and express feelings, thoughts, and concerns without criticism, judgement, or advice.

Many group members continue their friendships long after groups have ended and are a valid source of support when facing challenging life issues. 

Three Different Types of Groups are Available:

  1. Educational
  2. Healing
  3. Bible Study
