Life Skills and Mental Health Resources
The Life Skills and Support Ministry offers a variety of support and educational groups designed to help you navigate life’s toughest challenges. Whether you’re seeking employment, working toward better health, recovering from addiction, managing mental health struggles, or battling sexual sin, this is a place where you can be real and receive guidance.
Together, we learn how to invite God into our daily struggles and lean on His strength to overcome strongholds. You don’t have to face these battles alone. In a safe, grace-filled environment, you’ll find Christian leadership, encouragement, and community to support you as you become the person God has uniquely created and called you to be.
