Support Groups
GriefShare
It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt that you feel.
This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before.
GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Each GriefShare session has three distinct elements:
- Video seminar with experts
- Support group discussions with a focus
- Personal study and reflection
GriefShare is for people grieving the death of a family member or friend. We understand that there are other losses in life that create feelings of grief. You might be experiencing a job loss, a divorce, estrangement from a child, or even the loss of friends from a move. This grief is real but is not the kind of grief discussed in GriefShare sessions.

Unexpected Journey
Unexpected Journey offers support for parents whose children are struggling with their sexuality or gender identity. We offer a safe and supportive environment for parents to receive encouragement and insights as they navigate this challenging road. The group focuses on Biblical truth that encourages a loving relationship with our children without approving or affirming their choices, which is attainable through God’s grace and wisdom. The ultimate goal is for parents to know that hope, healing and peace can be attained in the midst of this unexpected journey.

Marriage Mentor
Christ Place Church Marriage Mentors have a passion for empowering couples to solve their own issues. Mentoring is unique in that it is effective for couples wanting to enrich their marriage and for couples in crisis. The role of the mentor is to mediate, teach Biblical truth and confront core issues. Mentors provide tools to teach communication skills, problem-solving skills, and parenting skills, as well as tools that can help couples agree on a family budget and become comfortable discussing sexual issues. Christ Place Marriage Mentors are committed to maintaining confidentiality and trust in the mentoring relationship. However, it is not a replacement for clinical or pastoral counseling.
