DIVORCE CARE

Whether one is contemplating divorce, in the midst of divorce, or has already divorced, the Divorce Care ministry is designed to share God’s view on divorce as well as care for and guide those who are experiencing it. Divorce Care begins on Thursday, February 6, 2025, and will meet for thirteen weeks in VCC's Fireside Room. Please contact divorcecare@vc.church to join the group or for more information.

Divorce Care is a thirteen week program in which all sessions stand alone, so one can join at any time. Although no religious affiliation is required, it is a Bible-based program which encourages that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the foundation for healing. Group guidelines stress confidentiality so that members feel safe in sharing their experience.

Over the 13 weeks, the group will cover the following topics:

  • What's Happening to Me?

  • The Road to Healing/Finding Help

  • Facing My Anger

  • Facing My Depression

  • Facing My Loneliness

  • What Does The Owner's Manual Say?

  • New Relationships

  • Financial Survival

  • Kid Care

  • Single Sexuality

  • Forgiveness

  • Reconciliation

  • Moving On, Growing Closer to God

 The sessions are divided into three parts:

  1. A short discussion of the prior week's brief homework section

  2. A video note-taking outline where counselors, psychologists, pastors and people who have gone through divorce talk about the week's topic by sharing their experiences 

  3. A wrap-up discussion on this week's viewed video

Divorce Care leaders are not professional counselors, but those who have experienced divorce first hand. They understand the pain and fears as well as the other emotions involved in the divorce process and have made a commitment to encourage each member by praying for them and keeping in touch with them even after the final session. 

There is $20.00 fee to cover the materials.
