It is a warm\, caring environment led by people who understand the challenges and pain you are going through. \nWhen everything feels chaotic\, DivorceCare’s structured approach provides stability. It helps you organize your thinking and manage your emotions.

They’ll help you do the same. \n  \nThe Fall 2024 semester of DivorceCare will meet Wednesdays from 6:30–8pm\, starting Wednesday\, September 11–December 11\, in Horner Family Center\, floor 7\, room 702.

A perfect Author\, He began this divine story with a breath\, speaking all of heaven\, earth\, and space into existence. Light pierced a dark nothingness\, and a garden bloomed from the chaotic deep. It was good. Out of an overflow of love\, God formed man and woman as caretakers and image-bearers and walked in perfect communion with them. But it wasn’t long before one antagonist and one act of disobedience corrupted God’s good creation\, triggering a downward spiral toward death and destruction. \nThis did not surprise the Creator. In His infinite sovereignty and omniscience\, He had a master metanarrative in mind—one that begins in a garden and ends in a garden\, weaving through the faith of fallen men and women\, climaxing at Calvary\, and is still being written today. No\, this familiar story of creation and separation was not a surprise. It was merely the first glimpse into the dawning of the divine story. \nIn this study of Genesis\, follow the “Dawning of the Divine Story” as we walk through creation\, covenants\, and all the stories of God’s grace in between\, watching the gospel bloom through God and His chosen people.
