Care Groups

For the first time during Summer 2024, two new mini sessions (Marriage and Parenting Care) will be offered on three Wednesday nights in June at 6:00 p.m. at The Lincoln Road and Hunt Club Campuses. Care Group Mini Sessions are not only curriculum-based but designed to connect adults with other adults in the same season of life. 

Life Care, Faith 101, Divorce Care, and Financial 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 and Faith 101 meet on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. At Venture's Stone County Campus, located at 1200 Woodland Drive in Wiggins, Financial Care meets on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. Care Groups Mini Sessions will meet on Wednesday June 5, 12, and 19 at 6:00 p.m. at The Lincoln Road and Hunt Club Campuses.

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. Childcare will is also provided at Care Groups Mini Sessions for Birth-5th grade at the Hunt Club and Lincoln Road Campuses.

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. Mini Sessions only last for three weeks, so it is encouraged to begin on week one to gain the full benefit of content and connection.

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.
