DivorceCare and DC4K

Every Sunday, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM, from 04/11/2010 to 08/01/2010

This 11-week class is for those who are going through a divorce, have recently been through a divorce or just need Christian support for any type of marriage separation.  The adult class will meet in M-106 and utilize a DVD program and group discussion. 

Divorce Care for Kids (DC4K) is a program for children between the ages of 6-12 whose parents are enrolled in the Divorce Care class.  The DC4K class will meet in A&E 103.  Both classes are held at the same time but in separate rooms. DC4K provides children with a safe and neutral place to recognize and learn to share their feelings and helps children heal from the pain caused by a separation or divorce.

These classes are open to the whole community.  For more information contact , Care Ministries Coordinator.

Faith Builder Coach Camp

Sunday, August 08, 2010, 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Faith Builder Coach Camp is required training for Faith Builder Volunteers.  Faith Builder Volunteers are those who serve in a leadership position within the church, and/or who work with children, youth or vulnerable adults. During this training, volunteers will be empowered to be "Coaches for Christ" by recognizing their position as spiritual leaders, seeing the vision and beliefs of our church, and working to preserve First Methodist Mansfield as a holy place of safety and protection.  This training also covers our church's Safe Sanctuary Policy and Procedures. We meet in room M-108.  For more information, please contact .
