Every Tuesday at 7:30 am

Pray with our city-wide church over the needs of our cities. Each week will be led by a member of our group and will last twenty to thirty minutes. 

Understanding the critical intersections of spirituality and mental health can increase the overall effectiveness and quality of treatment across an individual’s continuum of care. Faith leaders and mental health practitioners are working together, developing strong and successful examples of what can be replicated around the nation.
