GOD & MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
Mental health challenges have risen sharply in our nation during the pandemic and yet, it remains somewhat of a taboo subject in churches. Being a Christian doesn’t mean you are immune from mental health challenges. But we also know that the Gospel is everywhere, even in the shadows of mental health issues. We want to be a church community that accepts, loves, prays over and walks with all who are struggling as one Body, one community, and one family in Christ.
We have compiled a resource guide to accompany the three-part message series, “God and Mental Health,” livestreamed online beginning January 23, 2022. To listen to the entire series after it airs, visit the messages page.
