It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before.

Steve and Cheryl Grissom founded Church Initiative in 1993. In 1998, Church Initiative reached an important milestone by releasing the first edition of GriefShare, a video-based support group that comes alongside grieving individuals. Now in its third edition, GriefShare continues to grow and reach more individuals every year. Currently, over 20,000 churches are equipped with one or more Church Initiative ministry programs.

Join us today for a hope filled discussion with Steve Grissom! You’ll hear his journey and the hope that GriefShare brings to so many each day. Steve and Marshall, both veterans of GriefShare, share the hope that they have experienced as attendees and for Steve and his wife Shelly, GriefShare Group leaders.
