IF YOU ARE GRIEVING THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE

Growing through Grief

Growing Through Grief is a five-week series offered four times a year for those grieving the loss of a loved one.

Sally Wright, and are held at Village Church Mission Campus. Open to all members of the community. Series is free, but registration is required: contact Linda Alley.

Professional Counseling

There are some challenges in life that are just too big. When those moments come, we need extra help. In addition to our pastors who are available for limited, brief counseling, Village also offers a counseling ministry with a professional, licensed psychologist, Dr. Dave Ehman.
