Support Groups

It is a misnomer that support groups are for "other" people - those who are weak. These groups are for anyone that wants to better their lives in a particular area. Believers or not, strong in their faith or not, all who attend a support group are saying, "I want to improve my life." Those who join, find encouragement to do just that. Support groups offered vary by semester.

Many people focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. That's why the ability to set clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Boundaries define who we are and who we are not. This study will offer biblically-based answers and show how to set healthy boundaries with spouses, children, friends, parents, co-workers, and even ourselves.

Schedule: This group is now closed. Check back Fall 2023 for new schedule.
Dinner (by donation) is served at the cafe on campus at 5:30.

Making Peace With Your Past is a support group study to help adult children who grew up in dysfunctional families - particularly in homes in which one of the family members had emotional needs so strong that they disrupted the development of healthy relationships. This 12-week study, which follows Tim Sledge's book Making Peace With Your Past, offers practical, biblically-based guidance to lead adults to identify and come to terms with the feelings and problems caused by growing up in a dysfunctional family. Participants will learn to understand problems from their past and identify and remove the emotional, psychological, and spiritual barriers to fellowship with God.

Schedule: This group is not currently meeting. Please check back Fall 2023 for new schedule.

"My experience with the Making Peace class opened my eyes to God's truth and His divine healing of wounds from childhood and unforgiveness that still ate at my heart. The class helped me let God do a wonderful work only He could do, which was to forgive and love those who had hurt me."

"This step study wasn't only a first step to my healing but it was my first step back to church."

The Henderson Hills church family greatly appreciates the dedicated service of our military men and women who are defending freedom at home and abroad. We are equally grateful for the sacrifices their families make when a family member is deployed for extensive periods of time, particularly when in harm's way. The purpose of this group is to minister as the Lord leads to the needs of military personnel and their families, and to express our support and gratitude for the service and sacrifices they make on our behalf. We maintain a list of military personnel and families for whom we pray and to whom we send packages and/or letters at Christmas and other times throughout the year. Ministry team members make or secure items needed by our troops, many who are in extremely remote areas with limited access to such items as toiletries, snacks, basic medicines, socks, and gloves.
