Thank you for visiting our site- welcome!

The world is full of so much bad news and that is why good news is so welcome. The best news we know is that God cares for each of us. It may not feel like that when we go through problems in life. But we have discovered that God coming into the world in human form can help us in many ways. It can help our emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. Jesus said, “I have come so that you can have an abundant life”. In other words following him leads us to true wellness or wholeness.

Knowing God is in control, that he is trustworthy and we need not fear even death, helps towards better emotional & spiritual health (to see some of our videos click here).

We regularly run the excellent short course called The Wellbeing Journey. This is a friendly online discussion group that covers all the different areas of wellbeing that really matter: physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, financial and vocational. Click here for details of our latest course.

We also run The Bereavement Journey. A short course for anyone who would like the support of a friendly group. Working through grief and the loss of a loved one takes a long time. This course is for anyone who is bereaved, whether recently or dating back several years. Click here for information.

Feeling pressured and negative thinking can become a habit and a way of life. Focussing on self can make things worse. Looking to God instead of self, changing perspective and focus, sincerely done, is life transforming. Change takes effort but it is possible to rewire our brains and think differently.

Worry is a problem for many of us. Some ideas to help.

  • The way you understand who you are and why you are here can make all the difference

    Change and growth come through reflection, learning and getting help from others. But many people don’t open themselves up to help from others or God. Perhaps this is you because of past bad experiences. Dont be trapped by the past or negative thinking. Reach out get new perspectives so you can see yourself in a new way.

  • Maybe deep down you think you aren't good enough ?

    Did you know, our self worth doesn’t have to be tied to our things, our performance, or how much we do in a day. God wants us to recognize that we are loved, valued, and are enough as we are because we are created by Him. Jesus said all we need is trust; to have a little faith in him(as small as a mustard seed is enough, he said).
