DivorceCare
Most people say that separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they have ever experienced. It's a confusing time when people feel isolated and have lots of questions about issues they have never faced before. DivorceCare groups meet weekly to help those facing these challenges and move toward rebuilding their lives. Each session has two distinctive elements; a video seminar with experts and a focused support group time. In addition there are materials for personal study and reflection. DivorceCare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside others through one of life's most difficult experiences. No one should go through separation or divorce alone. Here at Chestnut Ridge we offer DivorceCare in the Spring of each year. Learn more at DivorceCare. Wednesday Nights September 15 - December 22, 2021 Church Office Conference Room 6-7:30pm Childcare provided |

Family Promise of Laurens County
Family Promise is a nonprofit organization committed to helping low-income families achieve lasting independence. It allows families to stay together and not be split up. Churches host the families for a week at a time and during the day while the kids go to school, the parents are helped to learn skills to get back on their feet. Craig Melvin with The Today Show did a piece on Family Promise of the Midlands. (You can watch it here.) It does a great job of showing how Family Promise works and how it benefits those who use its services. You can find out more about this nationwide program by visiting FamilyPomise.org. Our local FamilyPromise has a facebook page. Ervin and Wanda Stutzman are the Coordinators for CRBC. For a message from Ervin, click here. |

GriefShare
In the days, weeks, months and years after the death of a loved one it may be hard for people to feel optimistic about their future. For those who have lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, they have probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt they are feeling. It can be a very confusing time when others feel isolated and have many questions about things they've never faced before. GriefShare groups meet weekly to help others face these challenges and move toward rebuilding their lives. Each GriefShare session contains video seminars with experts, focused support group discussion and time for personal study and reflection. GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside those grieving through one of life's most difficult experiences. No one should have to go through the grieving process alone. GriefShare is offered every fall. Learn more at GriefShare. Tuesday Nights September 14 - December 7, 2021 Church Office Conference Room 6-8pm |

Men's Ministry
Becoming an authentic man of God ought to be the goal and driving passion of every man’s heart. At CRBC, we understand the importance of being men of God; and we want to provide opportunities for men to grow in their faith toward God and their love for their families. With that in mind, we continue to offer men’s Bible study opportunities as well as hands-on ministry and mission projects to build partnership, fellowship and accountability. |

Music Ministry
The Music Ministry at Chestnut Ridge fuels the mission of the church–to glorify God as we make disciples of all nations. When we come together in a worship gathering, we praise God for what He has done and is doing in our lives and the lives of others, we petition Him in prayer and hear His voice as we pray, and we learn God's vision for our lives and how to follow His direction through the study of His Word. |
