"You can tell what they are by what they do."
Matthew 7:16 (CEV)

 

Creating a space where you can practice being the person God created you to be is our goal.

"You shaped me first inside out; you formed me in my mother's womb."
Psalm 139:13 (MSG)

  • Since we are what we repeatedly do, group gives you the opportunity to practice problem solving, self-management, and the emotional self-regulation skills needed for daily living.
  • Through exposure to movies, you watch people work out difficult situations both sucessfully and unsuccessfully, giving you the opportunity to discuss their choices and identify with positive role models.
  • By discussing different scriptural explanations of relationships, personal growth opportunities, and dilemmas of conscience, group provides a setting for you to better understand your personal struggles and for you to be able to use your faith in finding personal solutions.

  • Plato said, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." Group gives you the opportunity to replace the need to be right, in control, or one-up, with the ability to "know," understand, to enjoy, and to create a kinder, safer place for your partner and your children.

"They shall live in safety and no one shall make them afraid."
Ez. 34:28 (KJV)
