Support Groups
First Presbyterian Church introduces our Winter/Spring ministries to our congregation and the outreach community we serve. The Support Group Ministry, under the direction of Congregational Care Pastor Stan Johnson, will give help, friendship, social contacts, love, compassion, and spiritual comfort to persons who are hurting, operating under the heading Life Hurts. God Heals.

Our Support Group Ministries will begin on Sunday, January 22nd 2012, when trained and experienced facilitators begin leading groups in these categories:

Grief Share
