G4 Groups
Find Support and Recovery
What are G4 Groups?
G4 is a volunteer led, group-based counseling ministry built around two nine-step models of change. G4 provides a context for participants to invest a season of their life overcoming a life-dominating struggle of sin or suffering. With the support of their fellow group members, G4 participants work through a biblically based curriculum focused on their primary life struggle.
Group Topics
Anxiety & Depression
Navigating Destructive Relationships
Men's Sexual Integrity
Grief
Overcoming Addiction

How much does it cost?
The curriculum costs just $10 and books are available in the lobby. Some people like to attend the first meeting before deciding to purchase their book.
Weekly Meetings
You will begin each weekly meeting gathered with others to hear stories of life change or teaching through the steps. Then you will split off into topic specific groups to discuss what you are learning through the curriculum.
Personal Reading and Study
Between meetings, you will spend some time working through the curriculum on your own. This may include resources such as videos, reading and Bible study. The workbooks will guide you through the process. Your own efforts throughout the week will help maximize your growth.
Why is it called G4?
“G” is for gospel-centered groups. Too often in recovery ministries our struggle becomes our identity. We place the “G” are the forefront of G4 to serve as a reminder that our identity is not found in our struggle but in our Savior—Jesus Christ.
“4” is for the four types of groups that can be housed within G4. Not all counseling groups are the same:
Recovery Groups are for destructive, habituated life patterns a participant wants to remove from their life. Recovery groups are for struggles like substance abuse, chemical addiction, or behavioral addictions (i.e., pornography or gambling).
Process Groups are for decreasing the life disruption caused by profoundly difficult experiences or an especially “sticky” emotion. Process groups are for experiences such as trauma or the aftermath of destructive relationships.
Support Groups are for mutual encouragement as participants persevere through difficult life experiences that endure for an indefinite period of time. Support groups are for experiences like divorce, depression, or grief.
Therapeutic Educational Groups provide a better understanding of life challenges which are often misunderstood. Therapeutic educational groups might be about a holistic Christian perspective on mental health or identifying common challenges for blended families.
