There aren’t many people around you who understand the pain your divorce or separation has caused. That’s the reason for DivorceCare. It is a support group and video seminars conducted by people who understand what you are experiencing. Most importantly, in this group you will learn how to deal with the pain of the past and look forward to rebuilding your life. DivorceCare is non-denominational and features biblical teaching for recovering from divorce and separation.

DivorceCare is for people who are estranged, separated, or divorced, no matter how long ago the divorce happened. At DivorceCare, you will become part of a small support group of people who are experiencing separation and divorce. You will view pertinent video seminars and then discuss each with the other participants. By interacting with these people, you will learn there are others who understand what you are feeling and that they can offer you encouragement. Many participants say these discussion times are the most helpful part of the program. DivorceCare is an international ministry.

One of the things you will learn is that the intense pain of divorce, often call a “broken heart”, is caused by the tearing away of the emotional connections that have been made in a person’s relationship with another person. Only God can heal a broken heart. Only God can heal a wounded spirit. It is God’s son, Jesus Christ, who brings the healing to DivorceCare participants.

The vision of the DivorceCare Ministry is to assist hurting people find help from the pain of divorce or separation.

The mission of the DivorceCare Ministry is to equip those suffering from the pain of a broken relationship by giving them…

• A sense of what is happening to them mentally, physically, and emotionally.
• A forgiving heart and a return to harmony.
• The ability to deal with anger, depression, and loneliness.
• An understanding of the effects of divorce on children.

“Divorce leaves scars on so many levels of our lives. DivorceCare helped me work through so many of the issues I was facing and continue to face even today. It provided hope for my future and healing from my past.  Having this program provided through the church allowed me to let go of the shame I was feeling for being a divorced person. For me the most important lesson I learned is that of forgiveness, forgiving those who hurt me and forgiving myself. This program was a true blessing during the most difficult time in my life and I thank God for bringing it to me!”

“Divorce sent me into a dark world of hopelessness and despair and caused me to question everything I believed about God and life. Divorce Recovery was a place that brought me out of my isolation to learn that God wasn't through with me yet and that I wasn't a second class citizen.  It was also a place where I made strong friendships and was able to become a happy, useful and contributing Christian once again.” - Female Participant

“Divorce care was a big blessing in my life! It was a safe and comfortable place to go and share my concerns about being a single parent and get feedback from others. I made many lifelong friends and truly received God’s love and direction for my life.” - Female Participant

“Divorce was a horrible experience of chaos and pain for me, with dreams trashed and finances ruined, abandoned by friends, a dark place where fear and anger tried to rule my life. The divorce recovery program I attended provided scriptural based knowledge and tools that allowed me to be free of the dark, chaotic environment that is divorce. It allowed me to rise above anger and resentment, to curb the aching loneliness, to get a handle on the effect of my divorce on my children, and to come into harmony with my ex. Only God can heal a broken heart, and through Jesus Christ my heart has been healed and I have been returned to life!”
