Ministries   Counseling Ministry

About

We have support groups for people who have experienced divorce, children of divorce, and grief, and we offer Celebrate Recovery for those with habits, hang-ups, and hurts. Cleansing Stream is designed to get rid of anything that is hindering your walk with the Lord, and to release you into freedom in Him. We also have prayer ministry training through Elijah House and Theophostics. More information on all of these can also be found below.

Cleansing Stream

Cleansing Stream is a three- month seminar designed to set you free from anything that would hinder your walk with God. It can be a life-changing experience as you progressively receive cleansing and healing. Whether you are new or mature in your faith, this is a very valuable seminar. There are five teachings, with a small group the following week for discussion and ministry. A workbook with notes is included. Homework in the notebook enables you to apply the principles of the teachings to your life. The teachings include: Walk In the Spirit, Commit Everything to God, Speak Words of Life, Enter the Cleansing Stream, and Press Toward the Goal. A weekend retreat takes place after the fourth teaching. Lots of worship, short teachings, and powerful ministry occur. Many people receive healing, cleansing, freedom, and deep connectedness to God. The classes take place Sunday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. Cleansing Stream starts March 2 and ends May 18, 2008,and the retreat is in Pittsburgh, PA the weekend of May 2 & 3. The "The Press Toward the Goal" teaching video will be presented after the retreat on Sunday, May 4.

Celebrate Recovery

Do you have hurts, habits, or hang-ups troubling your life? Celebrate Recovery is a Christian 12-step recovery program that can help you find freedom through worship, prayer, teaching, testimonies, and caring small groups. Join us on Thursday evenings at 6:15 for dinner. Our worship and teaching is from 7-8 p.m. followed by small groups from 8-9 p.m.. We are taking a break this summer but will resume on September 6, 2007.

Divorce Care

Divorced? Separated? You don't have to go through it alone. Find help. Discover hope. Experience healing. DivorceCare is a series of support groups and seminars conducted by people who understand what you are experiencing. Most importantly, you can learn how to deal with the pain of the past and look forward to a hopeful future!

DivorceCare is nondenominational and features biblical teaching for recovering from divorce and separation. The group is open to anyone regardless of church affiliation, or whether or not they attend church. The program is offered without charge. Participants may join at any time. A program for children aged 5-12 is also offered. DC4K helps children heal from the hurts caused by the separation or divorce of their parents. Child care for children five years old and younger will also be provided. Divorce Care will be held on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Call Pastor Titus Kauffman (717.354.5394 Ext 133) at the church office for specific dates and times.
