DivorceCare

Kingwood offers this 13-week video-based series based on Christian principles, no matter what circumstances led to the breakup and no matter what your current marital status. There is a $20 charge for the workbook.

GriefShare

GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences - the death of a family member or friend. Kingwood offers this 13-week video-based series based on Christian principles. There is a $20 charge for the workbook. We have occasionally hosted Surviving the Holidays and Loss of a Spouse events if a weekly group does not work for you. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.

Northfield Elementary

Kingwood has chosen to adopt Northfield Elementary and support them in various ways including providing teacher appreciation luncheons, supplies for students, and events for the school. Kingwood also helps by giving food or clothing to any student identified with a need.

Safe Haven Stepping Stones

Kingwood partners with the Stepping Stones Safe Haven program once a month to offer help to women and children in need. We offer them meals, encouragement, and a safe place to spend the night at our building.

The Journey Home

The Journey Home’s primary focus is to serve the homeless and disadvantaged of Rutherford County, by providing practical resources and relationships that encourage faith, economic stability, wholeness, and reintegration into community life. Kingwood supports The Journey Home financially and takes donations of items when needed.


ATLAS
