Care Ministry

Receiving Care and Finding Hope.

Currently, we offer Hope Classes and GriefShare as a few of our Care options. See full details below!

What are Hope Classes?

Hope Classes are a place to discover God’s purpose for redeeming your struggle for His glory and your good.

Classes meet for teaching on topics such as Embracing God’s Mercy, Finding Your Freedom in Christ, Living by the Spirit, Trusting God is Faithful, and Leaning on One Another.

Hope Classes start soon.

What is GriefShare?

GriefShare is a grief recovery support group where you can find help and healing for the hurt of losing a loved one. During one of life’s most difficult moments, our GriefShare group will help provide you with a friendly group of people walking through a similar season. This curriculum will support you in your time of grief and provide a community to lean on. 

Where can I meet with is GriefShare?

Harvest will be hosting GriefShare groups on the Rolling Meadows and Elgin Campuses throughout the year.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Divorce Care

DivorceCare is a safe place where caring people come alongside you as you find healing from the pain of separation or divorce. At this 13-week, video-based support group program, you’ll find helpful counsel to manage the emotional turmoil and practical tools for decision-making.

Grace Marriage

Grace Marriage helps couples build marriages that showcase the grace of God so that they can thrive, even in trials. This biblically-based curriculum will address relevant topics, like communication, intimacy, roles and responsibilities, and more.

Freed Up

There are more scriptures in the Bible about money than there are about prayer and faith combined. Yet the percentage of Christians that actually manage their money using Biblical wisdom is relatively low. Freed Up offers culturally-current resources to help guide and equip believers to manage money in healthier ways, through Biblical wisdom.

Grief Share

A Grief Share group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-session group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

Freedom Groups

Freedom Groups offer more than recovery from an addiction or new coping mechanisms. It is a 13-session group experience that provides the help, hope, and healing only found in the gospel. You will learn there is freedom for sinners to be restored in Christ; there is freedom for sufferers to be comforted in Christ; there is freedom for wanderers to be brought back to Christ.
