Hope and Help for All

*Our grief group completed its fall session on Oct. 19, 2025. Check back later on for information about the next group.

Grief is a journey that shouldn’t be traveled alone. While your grief journey is unique, you’ll find many grieving people are facing the same struggles.

This fall First Christian Church will be hosting a six-week support group for any and all in our community who are experiencing loss. You need not be a member of our church (or any church) to join - we want this group to be a safe space for people of all backgrounds and beliefs.

Whether you’re dealing with the death of a loved one or the loss of a close relationship, whether your loss is recent or distant, all are welcome.

The group will meet every Sunday at First Christian Church (1806 Central Avenue), beginning September 14th and concluding October 19th, from 2:00pm to 3:00pm.

FAQs

What if I can’t attend every meeting? That’s okay! We understand schedules are busy. Even one meeting may be helpful. Each meeting will cover a different topic related to grief, offering tools and suggestions for your grief journey.

What if I can’t make the first meeting? Again, that’s perfectly fine!

Will it cost anything? No. We are offering this group as a resource to our community free of charge. All handouts and materials will be provided.

Who will be leading the group? The group will be facilitated by Rev. Corey Harrison, FCC’s pastor. During the week, Corey works full-time with the families of hospice patients and is well-acquainted with the grieving process. However, the group is designed to be participatory. The “leader” is merely a facilitator. In sharing their own experiences, group members will have the chance to support each other.

Can I bring a friend or family member? If you’d feel more comfortable having a trusted person by your side, you are welcome to bring them along, even if they aren’t themselves grieving.
