Most
people will tell you that separation and divorce are the most painful
and stressful experiences they’ve ever faced. It’s a confusing time when
you feel isolated and have lots of questions about issues you’ve never
faced before.
Brentwood
Baptist Church, through the Congregational Care Ministry, is proud to
host DivorceCare and DivorceCare for Kids (DC4K). These groups are
scheduled throughout the year and require registration. If you have
questions you can e-mail [email protected].
Unfortunately,
we didn't have enough registrations for the Fall 2023 DivorceCare &
DC4K class, so we have had to cancel this session. Please checkout
www.divorcecare.org to see if you can find another group in your area.
Hopefully we will be able to offer a Winter/Spring option beginning in
January 2024.
Children meet other kids who understand how they feel. Children experiencing divorce tell us they feel alone and helpless.
Your children may feel scared, sad and confused. They may hide their feelings from you because they are worried about your happiness or because they do not know how to express their feelings appropriately.
What is DC4K?
DC4K is a special group to help your children (grades 2 through 6) heal from the pain caused by a separation or divorce. DC4K provides your children with a safe and loving place to recognize and learn to share their feelings.
For 12 weeks your children become involved in a fun, caring group at Brentwood Baptist Church on Tuesday nights. The weekly session topics help your children learn that God’s love strengthens them and helps them turn their sadness to hope and their anger to joy.
Each session is filled with motivating and exciting activities. Games, crafts, role playing, discussion times, and workbooks help your children process the divorce and move forward in their lives. The music CDs, snacks, read aloud stories, exercises and Bible verses teach your children to relax and rest secure in God’s love.
The Kids Like Me and Stories from the Bible video dramas present stories of children just like your children, who are experiencing divorce-related problems and have found help and encouragement.
DC4K is a powerful ministry for kids in second grade through sixth grade. Children look forward to each time their “DC4K family” gets together. Your children can be part of a DC4K family.
