Resources

Here you will find websites that may be helpful in a variety of ways--community resources, coping with addictions, job resources.... We will continue to add them as we become aware. If you have a site to suggest, please contact any of the co-pastors with information.

We offer them simply as options for individuals to look into. We have no affiliation with any of them.
