Light for the Darkness: Integrating mental and spiritual health

Bridging the Gap Between Counseling and The Church

We are a weekly worshipful support group, passionate about integrating our experiences involving mental health variances with our relationship with God. Our purpose is To provide space for a community of people to build relationships and explore the intersection of their faith, life struggles, and mental health.

Here we seek to offer a safe place to explore where God may be, ( or perhaps doesn’t seem to be), in the midst of our own struggle and inside this current chaos. We are a spiritual group for people with mental health variances—a place to be heard and to connect with others who understand. The format is a mix of liturgy, small, and large group discussions, and listening. Facilitators lead in highlighting a song and scripture passage to begin encouraging authentic sharing of glimpses of God we see and our struggles despite our faith. We always begin and end with a brief check-in from each person; to express our current mental or emotional state.

We are a friendly, open, and honest group. We come with our own needs desiring a place to meet safely and be accepted and supported as is. We are dedicated to creating authentic and encouraging relationships, but we are not a romantic or dating group. We are invited to come as we are; doubting, hurt, broken, lonely, desperate, anxious, grateful, curious, or anything in between.

Each session is intentionally planned and led by facilitators who have masters degrees in counseling or divinity. If you would like to help sustain these efforts please GIVE here.
