DivorceCare
and DivorceCare For Kids Ministry
DivorceCare and its companion for children, DivorceCare for Kids, both are Christ-centered, scripture based healing ministries to address the emotional and spiritual damage caused by separation and divorce.
Separation and divorce are among life's most difficult and painful experiences. Both adults and children who find themselves in this situation need the help and encouragement of others, as well as the help of the ultimate healer, Jesus Christ, to heal and restore balance to their lives. Both DivorceCare and DivorceCare for Kids groups are special places of encouragement, information and sharing.
To facilitate family discussion the same topic is addressed each week for the adults and children in age-appropriate manners, and include:
