Fresh Start's Ministry — The trauma of divorce brings hurt and pain - as though our heart is breaking. For a while it seems that we can never put the pieces of our lives back together. But Fresh Start exists to let people know that there is life after divorce. Our seminar and materials are designed to provide hope and new direction for broken lives. You can join us at one of our weekend seminars, or if that's not possible, try our workbook and tape series.

Fresh Start Seminars is a Christian ministry whose purpose is to touch the lives of the separated and divorced. We minister to both children and adults through seminars, support groups, books and tapes. This website is designed to make our seminars and resources readily available to you.

For those who have already grown through the Divorce Care discussions, there is another group called Fresh Start, starting at the same time,

Both of these courses are Christian support groups that point to Christ and his Word. Our leaders are Pastor Howard & Marlene DeVries, and several others in our congregation continue to also participate and help out. We have seen vitally renewed lives. Look around for new faces and give them your blessing and love.
