Care & Support

 “But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”
1 John 3:17-18 (ESV)

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.
LC3's GriefShare group meets Sundays, through June 30, 1:30pm | Large Conference Room
Join us anytime! $20 fee for the book.

Ignite Hope exists to coordinate and equip the LC3 church family, in response to the Gospel, by promoting, supporting, and caring for all human lives in our community.  This team has three areas of emphasis: 1) Pregnancy support and abortion recovery/healing, 2) Supporting families involved with adoption and/or foster care, and 3) Helping raise awareness of mental health needs within the church and community.

To receive support in any of these areas and to volunteer on any of these teams, contact IgniteHope@LC3.com.

Pregnancy Support

The Pregnancy Support focus (Life Guards) within LC3’s Ignite Hope ministry supports unexpectedly pregnant women and couples who face the pressure to abort by providing hope, accurate information, judgment-free compassion, and connection to healing resources for women and men who have been touched by reproductive loss in the past.

Our Goals:

Rescue
  • Defend unborn children’s lives 
  • Protect women from lifelong emotional, spiritual and/or physical consequences
Support
  • Provide material resources (housing, baby supplies, etc)
  • Offer friendship and help navigating an unexpected pregnancy
Disciple and Mentor
  • Connect with Bible studies focused on spiritual growth, parenting, and marriage
  • Offer support groups to help with healing for post-abortive women and men

Foster Care Support

At LC3 we believe God has called the local church to come alongside foster families providing support to them as they open their hearts and homes to children in need. Statistics show that when a foster family has support, they are more likely to continue fostering children in need of families.

Ignite Hope does this by creating Care Communities who offer tangible support to foster families through providing meals, helping with tutoring, childcare, transportation, laundry, yard work, etc. Care Communities are a group of 4-8 people on a rotating schedule supporting the foster family.

Mental Health Support

Saturdays 10-11:30am | Large Conference Room
LC3's Ignite Hope ministry is partnering with Fresh Hope to bring mental health care to our church. Fresh Hope is a peer-to-peer, Christ-centered wellness approach for those who suffer from a mental health challenge and for their loved ones. This approach, connecting faith and recovery principles, empower and encourages individuals to live full and rich lives in spite of their diagnosis.
