Heal KC Network Gathering
The Heal KC Network is designed to be a diverse community of church staff and others networking in the context of care, counseling, recovery, and trauma healing ministry. Imagine a citywide Body of Christ in the KC area that is working together well as it provides ministries of emotional healing.
FEATURED PANEL AND DISCUSSION TOPIC: SPIRITUAL ABUSE (PART 2)
Spiritual Abuse was the topic for the last Heal KC Network Gathering, and it was such a powerful, helpful, and meaningful time that we are continuing on with this theme for this September 25 gathering.
This Heal KC Network gathering again will feature a three-person panel addressing the topic of spiritual abuse. Join us in a conversation about spiritual health and wholeness, where we compassionately and courageously explore how to protect, restore, and HEAL KC.
