We live in a culture where divorce is increasingly prevalent. Christ Covenant periodically offers support groups for those moving through separation and divorce out of a desire to restore hope through the Gospel.

DivorceCare for Men
Christ Covenant uses the DivorceCare program in leading 13-week groups to help men recover from the pain of separation and divorce. This is a support group that meets weekly and includes three key parts: a video seminar featuring top divorce recovery experts, small group discussion about the video and issues faced by the individual group members, and a personal workbook with study that reinforces each sessions topic and allows you to journal. To find out more about the DivorceCare program, go to divorcecare.org.
You are welcome to begin attending the DivorceCare group at any point. Each session is "self-contained," and you can continue through the next 13-week cycle to pick up the remaining sessions.
The cost for workbooks is $15 and can be paid at the first session.
Upcoming Sessions
Our next session will be on Mondays, September 10-December 17. The group will meet from 6:45-8:30 p.m. downstairs in the CLC Youth Center high school auditorium.
Single & Parenting for Women
If you’re a single mom, you’re probably tired, overwhelmed and feeling a bit underappreciated. That’s why Christ Covenant is now offering Single & Parenting groups for women – to share tips and parenting wisdom that will help you find rest, hope and encouragement.
We understand the unique challenges faced by single parents and want to help. Single moms from all backgrounds are invited to join this special weekly group. We’d love for you to join us.
At the weekly Single & Parenting group meetings, you’ll meet with other single moms to learn and discuss some amazing parenting strategies and hope-filled insights. Each session has three distinct elements:
- Video seminar: The videos are interesting and dynamic to watch, and filled with practical advice you can easily apply.
- Small group discussion: You’ll discuss the video concepts and how to apply them. You will also have the opportunity to share what is going on in your life.
- Workbook-based personal application: Between sessions, short, daily workbook exercises help you adjust the tips to work for you. Whatever your struggles — kids, discipline, exhaustion, money, ex-partner, depression, anger — the workbook helps you address the situation at its source.
The cost for workbooks is $15 and can be paid at the first session.
Upcoming Sessions
Our next session will be on Mondays, September 10-December 17. The group will meet from 6:45-8:30 p.m. downstairs in the CLC Youth Center lobby.
DivorceCare for Kids (DC4K)
DivorceCare for Kids is a special group to help children heal from the hurt caused by the separation or divorce of their parents. At our weekly DC4K group, kids make friends with other kids who understand how they feel and the things they are going through because of the divorce of their parents.
Best of all, children will learn how God's love can strengthen them and help turn tears to hope and joy!
DC4K Design
Our DC4K group meets weekly in 13-week cycles. We combine games, crafts, activities, music, and DVD dramas to create a fun atmosphere where children feel comfortable and accepted. They look forward to each time their DC4K "family" gets together. Registration fee is $10 per child.
Ages: DC4K is designed for children ages 5-12.
DivorceCare connectivity: DC4K follows the same schedule and age-appropriate themes as the adult DivorceCare program, allowing parents and children to progress through the healing process together and providing a springboard for meaningful discussions.
For more information about the DivorceCare for Kids program, go to DC4K.org.
Upcoming Sessions
Our next session will be on Mondays, September 10-December 17. The group will meet from 6:45-8:30 p.m. in CLC room 6.
