MENTAL HEALTH & THE CHURCH*
Currently we are meeting the 2nd Monday of the Month @ 7pm.
Mental Health Support Group for those with a mental health issue and loved ones of those with a mental health issue.
Fresh Hope is an international network of Christian mental health support groups. Our groups are nondenominational and approach mental health recovery from a hope and faith-led perspective.
Fresh Hope support groups are peer-led, where members encourage one another under the guidance of a facilitator. The meeting format includes both a large and small group experience, where members can share as little or as much of their “journey” as they desire.

The impact of mental illness in our country is all around us. According to the Surgeon General, one in every five Americans experiences a mental disorder in any given year and half of all Americans will experience a mental health issue at some time in their lives. These illnesses of the brain affect all, regardless of age, gender, economic status or ethnicity. Nearly every person sitting in the church has been touched in some way by mental illness.
