CARE FOR FAMILIES
COUNSELING SERVICES
God expects us to need help. He has not called us to live in isolation without helpers. That’s why He’s provided many helpers for His children in the church and faith community. You and your family matter to God. Our church encourages and fully supports you seeking the help you need.
*If you or someone you know is in (or has put others in) imminent danger, please call 911.

Spring & Fall Semesters
Midweek Studies
Every Spring and Fall semester, MidWeek groups meet to address a life stage issue or an area of needed growth. A marriage and parenting course is offered for the Fall of 2025. MidWeek classes include men’s, women’s, and other studies that further one’s life journey with Jesus.

FALL 2025 MIDWEEK PARENTING COURSE
6:00 – 7:30 pm (Aug 27-Oct 8) | Birds & Bees Takes Flight | Chelsye Rich, Preschool Director
Room 275B Do you feel awkward, uncomfortable or nervous to talk to your child about their body or where babies come from, or maybe you just don’t even know when or how to begin these conversations. The Birds & Bees curriculum is meant to equip you, the parent of a preschooler or young elementary-age child, with the tools you need to create a plan and have confident conversations with your child about how God made them. Plan to join us this fall semester as we walk through the Birds & Bees Takes Flight curriculum.
