About Event

Divorce is one of the most painful experiences you can face. So many emotions. So many challenges.You don't have to go through it alone. DivorceCare offers support, answers, and practical tools to help you manage the many stresses of separation and divorce and find healing.

DivorceCare is a 13-week support group that helps you heal from the pain of separation or divorce. The experience involves three main components designed to help in that healing.

Meet our DivorceCare leader


Psalms 46:1 reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. I never needed this verse more than I did after 37 years of marriage and finding my life turned upside down and divorced.

Many of those years raising our three children were good years, and I thought we would grow old together. As I began to watch circumstances change and sin take a stronghold on my marriage, I knew I could no longer pretend that all was right with the world. There were days I did not want to get out of bed, moments I felt like I could not breathe and loneliness that hurt to my very core.
But God, in His Grace and Mercy carried me through every moment – He indeed was my refuge and my strength. Through the counsel of some very wise pastors, my personal relationship with Jesus, participating in Divorce Care, I understood that my divorce did not and would not define me.

To say healing just happened would not be accurate. It was a journey, one that comes with hurt, despair, grief, fears, and conflict. One of my greatest fears was that as a divorced person, God would not use me as a vessel to lead others in their moments of great need and struggle. I longed to be used by the Lord to have the opportunity to help walk others through their own personal journey, realizing every person’s journey is different, healing takes time and everyone grieves in different stages. As we enter this journey together, as your leader, I am already praying. We look forward to being a part of your journey towards healing and growing together.
