  • What is a healing group?
    Our healing groups will provide you with a safe space to engage in discussions and biblical teachings over the course of several weeks. Throughout this process, we will guide you through spiritual rituals and interactive activities, while also providing room for conversations about “BIG” question related to God and suffering, grief and loss, and forgiveness. We offer additional lessons on resilence, childhood trauma, and generational trauma. Healing groups offer you an opportunity to develop an extended family among other believers, so by the conclusion of the group, you will leave feeling renewed, restored, and healed.
  • Are the healing groups in person or virtual?
    FOTJ offers healing groups virtually via zoom.
  • What is the time commitment for the healing groups?
    The healing groups are completed over the course of 6 weeks.
  • When can I sign up for a healing group?
    FOTJ offers healing groups at different points throughout the year, and advertises upcoming classes on its email list and website. If the healing group sessions are full, we encourage you to sign up for the waitlist, and we will contact you when to notify you of the next open enrollment period so you can register.
