Our Biblically based support groups are healing environments where the members provide help and companionship to one another. The group members share experiences and feelings in an open caring environment in a comfortable setting. People generally feel less isolated and vulnerable in small groups. The groups are led by trained lay facilitators to provide information, direction, care and support for those in the group. House of Refuge Ministries conducts support groups to provide a healing atmosphere for those experiencing domestic, sexual, religious and other forms of abuse. Our goal is to provide places of refuge for those who are seeking to heal from brokenness caused by life crises.
The Refuge Groups are Christ-centered support groups for women who have experienced or are in relationships of physical and/or psychological abuse. The groups of no more than 10, are held in confidential locations throughout the community. Refuge Groups are designed to promote healing for women experiencing abuse in an open, supportive, and loving group environment. These groups utilize peer to peer sharing in a group format to provide emotional support for women suffering from the effects of relationship abuse. Biblical principles are applied to address spiritual needs of the attendees. Also, the participants are able to connect to domestic violence and other social service resources in the community.
