You don’t have to go through it alone. Most people will tell you that separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they’ve ever faced. DivorceCare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. NCC’s DivorceCare group meets Mondays at 6:30pm with DivorceCare for Kids (ages 5-12) offered at the same time.
