When Grief Hits Home / Wednesday, April 22 & 29 6:30-8:30pm
Grief changes us, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. This 2-week support group is designed to offer encouragement, authentic community, and practical tools wherever you are on the journey. Each week, all four classes will be available, giving you the flexibility to choose two that meet you right where you are. Topics include:
+ Supporting Those Who Grieve: Ourselves and Others
+ Trauma healing through forgiveness (emotionally, mentally, and spiritually)
+ Identity formation after loss
+ The important role of counseling and therapy
+ The unique mental health needs of kids and teenagers.
Whether you’re carrying your own grief or walking alongside someone else, this two-week support group will equip you with wisdom, hope, and next steps for the road ahead.

Alaska Mission Trip / June 15-25, 2026 / Register Online
Join us for an unforgettable mission trip to Alaska as we partner with CYAK (Covenant Youth of Alaska) to serve and grow together. Participants will join one of two teams: serving as camp counselors at Covenant Bible Camp in the remote village of Unalakleet or assisting with various work projects on the work crew at the Chickaloon Retreat Center, located an hour outside of Anchorage. This short-term trip is a unique opportunity to share God’s love, support CYAK's ministry, and experience the beauty and adventure of Alaska along the way.
Covenant Bible Camp Training: Our ministry partners from Alaska will conduct Zoom training and send us reading material prior to our team arriving in Alaska. Also, they will provide more training when we arrive at the Bible camp. All camp participants must be 16 years old. Along with your Hillcrest application, you will also need to register at Covenant Bible Camp. We will send out a link to the training once it is made available to us.
Work Crew Training: As we get closer to the trip, a representative from CYAK will meet with our work crew via Zoom to outline the building project plans and answer any questions you might have about the work crew's time. All participants in the work crew must be willing and able to work full 8-hour days while at the camp. No construction experience is required. All participants on the work crew must be 16 years of age or older. All students must have a parent with them. The work crew will stay at the Chikaloon Retreat Center. Register: Sign up today through the button below.
