If you’ve experienced sexual abuse at any stage in life, we want you to know there is hope and healing for you. Although sexual abuse/assault is one of the most difficult experiences to process and heal from, our prayer is through this group you will find a safe place to begin your healing journey.

This eight week, trauma-informed, Care Group is Gospel-centered and Biblically-based. It is built on authenticity and confidentiality, taking women through the seven steps of healing covered in Journey to Heal: Seven Essential Steps of Recovery for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse by Crystal Sutherland, MTS.

The group size is kept at 3-5 women, plus a group leader and co-leader. We feel the nature of this group, and the content covered, necessitates a more intimate environment.

Materials you’ll need for this group are:

  • A copy of Journey to Heal (which can be purchased at PC3 in the church bookstore, online, or wherever books are sold)
  • A personal copy of The Bible
  • A personal journal or notebook for writing

Group leaders are not licensed therapists, psychiatrist or psychologists. They are survivors themselves who have both taken the Journey to Heal Study and have been trained to facilitate this group study in order to help others process through their experience.

At the end of each group helpful resources and “next steps” are shared in order to help individuals continue in the healing process. If you have any questions related to the group, please feel free to contact the group leader directly at Leslie@reachcommunitychurch.com

Dates: This group typically meets Monday’s from 6:30-8:30, for a period of 8 consecutive weeks. A start date is set once a group size of 3 members is established, and it caps at 5 members. If we have more than 5 sign up, we will refer you to Port City Church for another group option or one-on-one mentoring.

Duration:  8 weeks

Please complete the registration below to sign-up for this group.  You will be contacted by the facilitator via email, before the group begins.
