Christ Church United depends on the committees and volunteers that make up our dynamic church. Groups help us to stay connected together and to our community. They empower you and help you build meaningful relationships with others, as you mature in your walk with The Lord.

| Healing Pathway | Healing Pathway is a ministry of energy-based healing offered within a heart-centered, inclusive community. It promotes self-care and assists in restoring wholeness, balance, and harmony at all levels of being – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually through grounding techniques, meditation, and a series of healing sequences. Healing is experienced individually for receivers when an intention is set, and there is a connection to the Divine. The foundation of the program lies in the tradition of healing within the Christian faith and it is not necessary to be ill to benefit from Healing Pathway which is offered both in person, and by distance. CCU Healing Pathway group sessions are open to the public on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month, from 1–2 p.m. in the Sanctuary. Registration is required before attending. Additional phone or in-person sessions are available by appointment as needed.
