RENEWAL MINISTRy
The heart of Renewal Ministries truly is rooted in Isaiah 61…a ministry to take up the call from our Sovereign Lord to bring good news to the poor, to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to those in captivity, to comfort all who mourn…to offer hope that beauty truly could come from ashes, that joy could come to those who mourn, praise could overcome despair and that all in Christ could truly become oaks of righteousness for the display of His splendor, not only in spite of but also because of where they have been and what they have walked through. Groups offered include GriefShare, DivorceCare, Reboot Recovery, Memory and More, and Living Free. Click below to see what groups are currently meeting.
