Church Program
The Church Program exists to equip church leaders to respond to mental health issues in their communities and to experience healing themselves.
Amidst the mental health epidemic our society faces, the COVID-19 crisis has compounded stress, anxiety, depression, and pain in churches and communities worldwide in unthinkable ways. This resource was created to help you and those you lead with issues keeping you from living in the fullness of God, especially in this unprecedented moment in our lives. Now, more than ever, is the time for the Church to rise up and be the place where the hurting can find the healing they need.
This all-digital program is perfect to utilize virtually and doesn’t require your church to be meeting physically. Allow Churches That Heal to be your guide as you shepherd your flock through this global crisis.
Who is the Church Program for?
- Pastors and ministry leaders wanting their church to become a place where the hurting can find healing as well as to guide their staff through a healing journey.(Senior Pastors, Executive Pastors, Care Pastors, Men’s/Women’s Pastors, High School/College/Young Adults Pastors, Groups Pastors, Outreach Pastors, Ministry Directors, Lay Leaders and more.)
- Counselors, campus ministry leaders, Christian business leaders, and others will also benefit from the Churches That Heal Church Program.
