More About the Group

Support and encouragement for your grief journey.

After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues and you feel alone. Often, friends and family want to help you, but don’t know how. That’s the reason for GriefShare. Our group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and have successfully rebuilt their lives. We understand how you feel because we’ve been in the same place. We will walk with you on the long path through grief toward healing and hope for the future.

About GriefShare

GriefShare is a network of 15,000+ churches worldwide equipped to offer grief support groups. The program is non-denominational and features biblical concepts for healing from your grief. Learn more about GriefShare at www.griefshare.org.

What to expect

GriefShare is a support group that meets weekly. You’ll find it to be a warm, caring environment and will come to see your group as an “oasis” on your long journey through grief. There are three key parts to your GriefShare experience:

• Video Seminar | Encouraging, information-packed videos featuring leading grief recovery experts.

• Support Group | Small group discussion about the weekly video content.

• Workbook | Journaling and personal study exercises that reinforce the weekly session topics.

Each session is “self-contained” and the group can be joined at any time during the 13-week cycle. Any missed sessions can be picked up in the next cycle.

MomCo (formerly MOPS/MOMSnext) provides a space for mamas to get together and connect with other moms, be supported by moms who have gone before us, and simply have a break from being on duty.

This fall our Kid’s Ministry team is continuing New City Catechism for Kids! It’s a fun and engaging opportunity for kids in K-5th grade to learn about the core teachings of the Christian faith. Each week we’ll share a meal, explore the answer to a question about our faith, try to memorize that answer, and participate in various fun activities to help deepen our understanding of what we’ve learned. To see what questions we’ll be exploring, visit this site HERE or download the mobile app HERE.
