Hope Groups exist to bring hope to those who are suffering due to choices that they have made or due to the choices that someone else close to them has made. Unlike individual counseling which often has a waitlist and requires church attendance at Canyon Hills, the HOPE Groups offer immediate help in specific areas and are open to anyone regardless of church attendance. A group may be joined at any time, and the only cost is for materials.
Those who struggle with any life-enslaving sin including drugs, alcohol, sex, food, gambling, or anger, know how difficult life can be. If you’re struggling with any sin that feels overwhelming, consider joining this group to learn how to live life biblically.

“If you are currently facing or have faced cancer, then this group is for you!” We are a group of women who focus on what God is doing, can do, or has done through our cancer. It is a safe place for spiritual and emotional support where we can let our guard down, to learn, laugh, cry, experience joy and pray over each other. You do not need to be a member of Canyon Hills, but we do follow the theology and guidelines of our church leaders. Please contact the counseling office if you want to join this group so the leaders can reach out to you before you attend.
WHEN: The 2nd Saturday of each month, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Loss is one of life’s inescapable realities. Loss forces us to realize that even the good things we want and enjoy are fragile, temporary and unrecoverable. Yet God meets us in our loss, and gives us others to share the sorrow of our losses. For men and women who have lost a loved one, this group meets for fellowship, prayer, and community while coping with grief. Our group uses GriefShare’s curriculum. Please follow this GriefShare link to register for our group: https://www.griefshare.org/groups/256508/registrations/new
