Jesus calls us to love God and love one another. Loving one another sometimes means caring for each other when “life happens.” At StoneBridge, we care in a variety of ways; through the ministries of our elders and deacons, through our Life Groups, and of course through personal relationships. But sometimes we have specialized needs and in those times, StoneBridge cares.

Healing Journey groups for women offer a safe and highly confidential place to explore and process our personal journeys of brokenness, healing, and growth in Christ. This may include anything from simple codependency and boundary issues, to issues related to families of origin, or recovery from verbal, emotional, physical, or spiritual abuse.
Forgiven and Set Free is an inspired Bible Study that ministers God’s healing grace to women who are suffering remorse and guilt after a recent or past abortion.
This healing recovery study is offered in small, confidential groups.
“I was raised in a Christian home with loving parents who took us to church twice on Sunday and Wednesday nights. But then I went to college and got pregnant, not once but twice. I couldn't tell my parents, imagine how disappointed they would be in me, how I had failed them, it would "kill" them. So, I had abortions.
Years later I saw a sign in the ladies room here at church for a private class called Forgiven and Set Free. I never knew there was something for post-abortive women so I signed up. I am beyond thankful for this class. After going through it, I have been totally set free from all my guilt and shame.”
