Get Involved. Facilitate!

Restore Ministries' small groups are places where community, growth and support all happen simultaneously. Many who go through one small group end up understanding and experiencing the freedom that comes with being truly known and accepted by others.

Facilitators of these small groups foster that environment and have the ability to walk with other people, no matter where they are on life's journey.

Women's Self-Esteem Classes

"Self-esteem in women peaks when they are nine years old, then takes a nose dive," clinical psychologist Robin F. Goodman writes on the New York University Child Study Center Web site.

Restore Ministries recognizes that low self-esteem in women is prevalent, whether it is low self-esteem that affects their view of their body, relationships, career, and general areas of life. This is why Restore is offering four Journey to a Life of Significance classes in February and March.

Do you feel chronically dissatisfied with your weight or overall appearance?

2 for 1 Restore Ministries Stimulus Package

At Restore, we know that economic times are tough, so we want to help by offering a "2 for 1 Restore Stimulus Package."

This means that you and another person can go through one of our fall groups for the price of one of equal or lesser value.

If you want to take Journey to Freedom, Freedom in Relationships, Twelve Steps to Freedom, Hurt to Hope or the Self-Esteem class you can split the cost with someone else.

Or, if you want to encourage a friend to come with you he or she may come at no additional cost.

Relationships Are Tough

Spoiler alert: No relationship is perfect. So go ahead and shake off any feelings of embarrassment or sense of failure you might have because your relationship does not look like you dreamed it would.
