Part of our vision statement at Redeemer Church is “Restoring lives”, which ultimately is something that Jesus wants to do in all our lives through His word and His love.
In a world where mental health issues are often misunderstood and are becoming increasingly common across all generations due to the stress and demands of modern living, we aim to be a church who better understands and supports people in the challenges these issues can bring to everyday life and to our wellbeing.
We have joined with the charity Kintsugi Hope to set up safe and supportive communities for people to grow and flourish. A place where people can allow themselves to be real as they face some of the challenges of everyday life.
Why join a group? Watch the following video:
We are starting a Kintsugi Hope Wellbeing Group from Monday 23rd January, meeting weekly in Chester-le-Street between 10am and 12noon over 10 weeks.
What to expect from the group:
- Safety and support where there is no shame and embarrassment in struggling
