Care Groups
Let's do this together.
Small group classes that meet you where you are, wherever you are.
We're excited to facilitate these independently-led support group- and small group-seminars, each intended to equip you to face the challenges and experiences of life in a biblical way. Some are hosted at East Bay, while some take place in other locations in Traverse City. All are led by compassionate people who have experienced difficult things, and want to walk with you and provide valuable tools for dealing with grief, divorce, addiction, and more.
