Shepherding Ministries
Hope and Care Studies
Most of us have times in our lives when we face issues for which we need help and support. Hope and Care groups are Christ-centered small groups where Providence members, attendees and others from the community meet together under the coordination of a facilitator. We learn to apply practical principles from God's Word to find hope and to help overcome difficult issues in our lives.
