If you or someone you love is struggling mentally or emotionally, you are not alone! We are here to help you find hope and support in whatever you’re going through. Below are some resources our pastoral team has gathered for you to watch or share.

Is it ok to not be ok?  

Yes, it is. A good first step would be to watch these short introductory videos about anxiety, depression and suicide. They will help orient you to a Christ-centered approach to the most common mental health problems.

How do I know if I or someone I love is dealing with anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts? And what do I do next?

Recently, one of our pastors sat down with some local counselors and therapists. In their conversation, they talk about signs to look out for and helpful tips on how to grow toward greater mental and spiritual health. Watch this panel here or below.

God in the Storm - offered now as a free eBook

Marc Maillefer, Author

When the storms of life come, we are most often caught by surprise - like lightning on a sunny day. This book comes out of a time like that, when my wife Lori was diagnosed with breast cancer - no family history, in perfect health and then overnight her Doctor tells us she’s not going to make it. Our 5 kids' ages spanned age 5-17. The fear was suffocating and at times overwhelming, yet day after day through His daily kindnesses, God held us up.

Lori and I trust that our story would encourage you and those you know going through a “storm.” God is with us and for us and able to use hard things for good in our lives. May this book draw you to Jesus and make you more like Him!
