Support Groups

Christ Church recognizes that healing happens when you have the support of family and friends. We are pleased to be able to offer a variety of support groups to members and non-members alike. Some are run by Christ Church, while others are outside groups.

Al-Anon

Mondays • 12 – 1 pm • Room 202 & Zoom

If your life has been affected by someone else’s drinking, there is hope. Al-Anon is an anonymous fellowship that helps family and friends of alcoholics. Contact Renee for more information or houstonalanon.org.

Alcoholics Anonymous (Closed Meeting)

Wednesdays • 12 - 1 pm • Room 202

This is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. Contact Renee for more information or aahouston.org.

This is a closed meeting. Closed meetings are for A.A. members only, or for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking.”

Alcoholics Anonymous (Open Meeting)

Mondays • 8 - 9 pm • Rooms 202

This is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. Contact Renee for more information or aahouston.org.

This is an open meeting. Open meetings are available to anyone interested in Alcoholics Anonymous’ program of recovery from alcoholism. Nonalcoholics may attend open meetings as observers.

Cancer Support

The journey through cancer is not a time to be alone. For those with new diagnoses, undergoing treatment, family, and friends of cancer patients, Christ Church wants to be here.

We are building a cancer support team. If you have traveled this road as either a caregiver or care-receiver and know that God has beckoned you to serve in this area, please visit christchurchsl.org/cansupport to volunteer. Orientation and training will be provided.

Depression and Bipolar Support

Thursdays • 7 pm • Rooms 208 & 209

Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance Greater Houston provides free, confidential support groups for individuals living with, or family and friends affected by, depression and bipolar disorders. Our support groups help those trying to understand these two difficult mental disorders so they can better assist their loved ones on their path to wellness. The facilitator will be an experienced trained leader of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance Greater Houston. Contact Michelle Hall, 281.980.6888 for additional information.

Divorce Care

Mondays • 6 pm • Room 11/12

Divorce Care is a safe space where caring people journey with you as you find healing from separation or divorce.

This 11-week, video-based support group program offers helpful support to navigate various challenges and provides practical tools for decision-making. We meet on Mondays at 6 pm in RM 11/12. If childcare is needed, please let us know before arrival. Enter through the office entrance.

For additional information, please contact Pastor Michelle.

GriefCare

Beginning Sunday, October 13 at 9:30 am

Please join us on Sundays, starting October 13 at 9:30 am in room 206, for an informal and confidential discussion about the painful challenges of navigating grief. Many people find that talking about the emotions of grief in an informal setting with others who are experiencing similar feelings can be helpful. We will discuss emotions that we have in common with others, as well as issues that may be unique to you.

Contact Jim Dawson with any questions

Hospital Visits

Christ Church pastors and lay ministers bring the love of Christ to church members and family who are hospitalized. If you would like to help, or if you know or someone who would appreciate a visit while in the hospital, please contact Michelle Hall.

Overeaters Anonymous

Mondays from 7 - 8 pm in room 203 & Wednesdays from 6:30 - 7:30 pm in Room 202

Overeaters Anonymous offers a program of recovery from compulsive eating and provides a fellowship of experience, strength and hope. OA is not just about weight loss, gain or maintenance; or obesity or diets. It addresses physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively. These are open meetings available to any interested in Overeaters Anonymous. Contact Renee for more information or oahouston.org.

The Gathering: Memory Care

First Thursdays • 10 am - 1:30 pm

Loved ones with memory loss, specifically mild to moderate Alzheimer’s, other dementias or cognitive impairment can participate in this 3.5-hour program.

We will meet once a month on the first Thursdays from 10 am – 1:30 pm.
