Live Well: Emotional Wellness Ministry

Live Well is the Emotional Wellness Ministry launching in January on Tuesday nights. Live Well offers a variety of support and educational groups for those struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as groups for their family members. All participants will be invited to meet for a time of worship in the Wesley Chapel before heading to their issue-specific classrooms. Group sizes are limited and classes are closed following the second week. Registration is required for this ministry on Tuesdays, January 24 - April 10, at 6:15 pm in Wesley Covenant Chapel. 

Programming is also available for high school students on Wednesday evenings (Uplift). A parent must be attending the same study in an adjacent room.

For more information about Uplift or questions about Live Well, please contact Toni Sanders, Live Well Congregational Care Minister, or Rev. Steven Blair at 913-544-0219.

If you discover that registration is full for the group you are interested in, please send an e-mail to livewell@cor.org. This will put you on the waiting list as we work to open more groups.
