DivorceCare and Divorce Care for Kids (DC4K)

DivorceCare for Kids (DC4K) is a special group that provides a safe and caring place for children ages 5-12 to engage in fun-filled activities while learning about divorce and the many changes they are encountering in their lives. The weekly session topics help our children learn that God's love strengthens them and helps them turn their sadness to hope and their anger to joy.
