When you're hurting it's difficult to focus on anything other than the pain. Whether it's a conflict in your marriage, an addiction, a death in the family, or another emotionally difficult issue, life can quickly become unmanageable.

Browns Bridge Community Church has created a Care Network to help people pro-actively grow as individuals and as couples, and also to provide assistance for those seasons in life when you need someone to lean on.

There are times in life when you don't want to walk alone--times when you need a shoulder to lean on. The Hope Ministry can help those experiencing needs of all kinds. Through one-on-one caring relationships, those who are hurting receive love and Christ-centered care. For more information, click here.

If you have suffered the loss of a loved one through death and would like to learn God's perspective on loss and grief, GriefShare may be beneficial to you. GriefShare is a 10 week grief support group for those seeking support and comfort for past or current losses. Please click here for more information about how to get in a group.

Most of the time when we have an emotional need, we can lean on a friend, family member or community group. Sometimes however, problems become more complicated and we need the guidance of a professional. When that time comes the Browns Bridge Community Church Care Network staff can help match you up with a competent and caring Christian counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist to help you through your time of crisis.

The decision to marry is one of the most important choices we make in life. Preparation for marriage involves much more than detailing a beautiful wedding. Our desire at Browns Bridge Community Church is to help you establish a marriage that will endure and that you will enjoy for a lifetime. The Premarital Mentoring Ministry trains mentors to walk beside you through this time and offers resources to prepare you for what lies ahead. For more information click here.

Your marriage is what you make it, for better or worse, for richer or for poorer. So how are you doing? Thrive is an 11-week environment designed for your marriage--because every marriage has room to grow. Click here for more information.

Everyone faces financial hardships from time to time. Job loss, divorce, health problems or debt can cause tremendous financial and emotional strain. There are times when you may need encouragement and advice from someone who understands what you are going through. For more information click here.

The separation and divorce of a marriage is much like a death. When someone or something dies, the grieving process needs to take place to heal. The Oasis divorce recovery group is a special place of comfort, encouragement and healing. The group meets weekly in homes across the metro area, providing you with an on-going support team as you deal with the issues surrounding your circumstances. For more information click here.

We have created Inside North Point to share with church leaders what we have learned so far in our efforts to create churches for the unchurched. Within this website, you will find free resources, including budget templates, human resources documents, blog posts and podcasts by our ministry leaders, as well as leader development tools. We encourage you to dig around this site. And if you can't find what you're looking for, Contact Us.

In addition, we offer a true behind the scenes experience at our Drive Conference for church leaders. At Drive, we unpack our ministry model and share what we've learned in over 15 years of doing ministry. Attendees choose breakout sessions led by our staff, worship and connect with other leaders, and hear Andy's latest thoughts on leadership.

We will not host Drive in 2012 so that we may focus on opening our two new campuses, Watermarke Church and Gwinnett Church. However, we are still on the road with you! Track with us on Twitter, Facebook, and the Drive blog so we can stay connected.
We'll let you know as soon as we have a date for the next Drive Conference.
