Breakout: From Hurts, Habits & Hang-Ups Leaders: Jasmine Bell & Kenny Miller Dates: Fridays Place: HCC Downtown Campus, The Chapel Time: 7-9pm Childcare: Yes
The purpose of this support group is to come together as the family of Christ and empower one another. To walk through an intentional Christ-centered journey towards wholeness, we must receive God-ordained healing from any of life's hurts, habits and hang-ups. We believe in walking through the pain of this life together, rather than telling people how or where they should walk. We are all still recovering from something or other, whether it be hurt, past disappointments or something else that seemed to be a stumbling block. Here at HCC you will come into a community with some of the most authentic, transparent, genuine, and compassionate people. Thankfully, our identity is not found in our weaknesses or struggles, but in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This will be your safe place to begin your journey of breaking out of bondage and into God's grace by helping you to start dealing with past hurts, hang-ups, and habits.
High Five Groups are all about people serving God and one another through serving in the Ministry of Helps and Outreach. They are to build community in the team while accomplishing ministry tasks. These ministry groups have various requirements to participate and meet at various times throughout the month as determined by the ministry leader.
