Through Life’s Challenging Times

You’re not alone. We’re here to help you find healing during times of challenge or grief by offering resources of support. We provide loving care to our community in various ways, including recovery groups, counseling, support groups, prayer, hospital visits, elder care, and shepherding.
Support Groups
Rise Up:
Standing Strong Through Cancer
1st & 3rd Mon | 6:30 – 8:30p
This is a Christ-centered support group for men, women, and teens who are battling cancer, survivors in the process, or who are walking alongside others who have cancer. The group is led by volunteers who are currently battling cancer, and who have a passion for helping people navigate the practical, emotional, relational, and spiritual challenges they may encounter. Join us anytime at LifeBridge on the first and third Mondays of the month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Email Debra Kouns at dkouns@lbcc.org
GriefShare
Aug 17 – Nov 16 | Mon 6:30 – 8:30p
Our 13-week GriefShare group at LifeBridge offers a place of comfort, support, and hope for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Each week builds on the last, giving you the space and time to process your grief at your own pace, surrounded by others who truly understand.
Loss of a Spouse
August 16 | 2 – 4p
The quiet house. The empty chair. The fog that won’t seem to lift.
If you’ve lost a spouse, you know there are no words for what that feels like — and no roadmap for what comes next. Whether your loss was last week or five years ago, you are welcome to come exactly as you are.
Loss of a Spouse is a workshop for anyone navigating life after losing their marriage partner. In just two hours, you’ll find:
- People who truly understand and have found a way through
- Hope that the pain won’t always feel this heavy
- Real, practical guidance for the days and nights ahead
August 16 | 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Course materials are $10.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Forgiven and Set Free
Aug 10 – Oct 26 | Mon 6:30 – 9:30p
Confidential Group. No matter what influences a woman to end a pregnancy, there are physical, psychological, and spiritual side effects most women don’t anticipate. This group walks through a bible study called Forgiven and Set Free, to help women find freedom through the honest, interactive study of God’s Word; meaningful experiences; and a confidential, caring community.
DivorceCare
Sep 14 – Dec 7 | Mon 6 – 7:30p
DivorceCare is a Christ-centered support group for those going through a separation or divorce. Our group is led by a team of volunteers who have experienced the pain of divorce and are passionate about seeing you find encouragement, peace, and hope on your own journey toward healing. Course materials are $20.
GriefShare
GriefShare is a Christ-centered support group for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. You don’t have to grieve alone.
