Grief Share
See how you can receive support and encouragement in the grieving process. See also how you can be a support to those who are suffering.
GriefShare
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
Each weekly GriefShare group begins with a 30-minute video featuring respected experts on grief-related topics and helpful stories from people who have experienced loss. Their insights will help you manage your emotions, gain clarity, and find answers to your questions as you walk through the grief process.
GriefShare groups and events meet weekly at thousands of locations around the world—both in person and online. You are welcome to join a group anytime during the 13-week cycle.
A group meets at Ballard’s Bridge Baptist Church in the Family Life Center on Sunday afternoons at 4 pm. Join any time!

LifeWise Academy
I'm excited to share about LifeWise Academy, an opportunity to provide Bible education to public school students here in our community. LifeWise empowers communities to offer Bible education to public school students during school hours. Students can be released from public school during school hours to attend religious classes.
To get started, we’re simply asking for signatures to gauge community interest! Your support will show that our community is ready to take the next step.
