One of the key purposes of First Baptist Church Maryville (FBCM) is to “Encourage the Hurting.” Life is difficult, whether or not someone follows Christ. Many are faced with challenges and issues that are uncontrollable or hard to manage. When going through these difficult circumstances, many people think that they are all alone, no one cares about them, and no one can help them. FBCM wants people to know that they are not alone--that FBCM cares and can help. FBCM’s Living Free Groups help by bringing together group members navigating through similar circumstances with experienced group leaders for mutual support and encouragement. Fall group meetings will be starting soon. Current groups include:

• Adoption Support: Those interested are asked to contact the church (618.667.8221).
• Cancer Companions: Every Thursday (Starts 9/5)
• Divorce Recovery: Every Thursday (Starts 9/5)
• Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain: 1st & 3rd Tuesdays/Month (Starts 9/3)
• Grief Support: Every Thursday (Starts 9/5)

*All Groups meet at 7 p.m. and childcare is provided free of charge.
