One of the new buildings which will be constructed on the East Lawn during our capital improvements project is The Hope and Healing Center. Planned for the far eastern side of our property, this will be the new home for some of our Pastoral Care groups, recovery groups and 12-Step groups.

Construction has begun, and completion is expected by the end of 2012, weather permitting.

The Hope and Healing Center will provide a comprehensive ministry of awareness, prevention and recovery for families and individuals in all stages of life. Our objective is to provide resources that will help create healthy family systems and, when needed, the support to move from places of pain to acceptance, forgiveness and peace of mind. The goal is to promote emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health.

The Hope and Healing Center will serve the needs for:

• Adulthood, with awareness of good parenting practices and family development.
• Elderhood, including empty nest status, loss of spouse, illness, dementia, financial stress and end-of-life issues.

It also will provide a meeting space for Pastoral Care groups, prayer groups, recovery and 12-step groups, as well as educational programs such as The Wellness Series, Divorce Recovery Series, Quiet Days, meditation experiences, and more.

The Hope and Healing Center and The Hope and Healing Institute are ministries grounded in the Judeo-Christian faith and designed, through education and support, to provide a comprehensive response to ministry of awareness, prevention and recovery for families and individuals in all stages of life. Our objective is to provide resources that will help create healthy family systems and, when needed, the support to move from places of pain to acceptance, forgiveness and peace of mind, and the accompanying emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health.
