Care Groups

The fall 2024 semester begins September 10 and will end December 10. Divorce Care, Financial Care, Marriage Care, and Parent Care meet on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. at Venture’s Hunt Club Campus located at 1900 North 31st Avenue in Hattiesburg, MS. At Venture's Gulf Coast Campus, located at 15521 Oak Lane in Gulfport, Financial Care meets on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. At Venture's Stone County Campus, located at 1200 Woodland Drive in Wiggins, Divorce Care meets on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. 

Child-care is provided for ages birth - 5th grade at The Hunt Club and Gulf Coast Campuses, and there is no charge for childcare. Currently, child-care for Care Groups is not available at The Stone County Campus. 

There is no cost to attend a Care Group, but in order to experience the full benefits of participating in a Care Group, resources such as reading materials or workbooks are required. These materials have a minimal cost.

Care Groups provide six key areas of focus: Life Care, Faith 101, Divorce Care, Financial Care, Marriage Care, and Parenting Care. Each area requires a different length of commitment to complete the selected curriculum. To experience the full benefits of participating in a Care Group, it is highly recommended that you begin with your area of focus on week one and consistently attend and engage in weekly coursework until completion. 

Life Care is for anyone. The reality is that, in this life, we will all experience brokenness which can hold us back from the life we want—and the life God calls us to live. For anyone struggling with substance abuse, codependency, pornography, eating disorders, pride, depression, fear, control, emotional/physical abuse, people-pleasing, anger, obsessive thoughts, etc., Life Care is a place to find hope, healing, and freedom.

Care Groups begin at 6:00 p.m. with a time built in for community-building as a large group. At 6:30 p.m., Care Group attendees will relocate to a smaller group setting with a specific area of focus: Life Care, Faith 101, Divorce Care, Financial Care, Marriage Care, and Parenting Care. Care Groups will dismiss at 7:30 p.m.

To experience the full benefits of participating in a Care Group, it is highly recommended that you begin with your area of focus on week one and consistently attend and engage in weekly coursework until completion.
