Belonging brings you joy and helps you not only identify but work to increase your maturity. When you, your family and your friends connect in a Belonging study group, you experience innovative opportunities designed to help you reach your best. Each of the twelve weeks of Belonging provides you with creative exercises, engaging activities and meaningful discussion on the topics that matter most to you. Your heart, faith, family and relationships will benefit from your participation in Belonging. Families and couples who experience Belonging create joy and a deeper appreciation for each other. What isn’t there to love about living from your heart?

Belonging is the union of spiritual formation and recovery entrances to the Thriving Recover Your Life program.
Churches who apply Belonging increase their effectiveness by utilizing the resources in their midst. Using joy as an incentive, Belonging connects new people who are restless with established members who are hard to move. What sets Belonging apart from other models is the focus it provides on equipping those with the least maturity to be stronger without waiting for those who have more experience to come through.
During the course of this 12 week module, small groups will be taught how to correctly identify (and grow) their maturity. Belonging jumpstarts your process of learning the 19 skills that build healthy relationships and strong emotional resilience. Participants in Belonging will be provided with weekly outlines as well as captivating questions for group discussion that rely on the Life Model and Study Guide reading.
