Saturdays, starting November 1 | 9:00am - 11:00am

Through Seven Pillars’ guided lessons and a trusted community, you will develop the tools necessary to break free, heal your relationship, and take back your life. This is an 8- to 10-month class where you will work to understand your whole story and become grounded in God’s Word and His plan for your life. You will learn new tools and strategies to help navigate recovery, establish and walk in your identity in Christ, and develop confidence in your ability to pursue healing and health.

A simple commitment to pray can make an eternal difference in a child’s life. Sign up today and help us create a culture of prayer, connection, and life change in our church. Let’s link arms across generations and make this school year one covered in prayer! Sign up now!
