Caregiver Groups
God is with you on a journey that has been unpredictable, exhausting, humbling, joyous, and sometimes heartbreaking. Although He is always with you, you’re not meant to go through it alone. You each have unique experiences and encouragement to share with one another. Let’s see how God can pull the special needs community in closer and use those experiences to glorify His body and Kingdom!
