After School Opportunities

Today’s youth are growing up in a world filled with challenges and pressures, often leaving them feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. Research is clear: one of the strongest predictors of positive mental health is having caring, consistent relationships with supportive adults.

That’s where you come in. We’re looking for volunteers who are willing to invest in the lives of our 5th-8th grade youth in after school support from 3:30-5:30pm. Make an impact and sign up here.

Now enrolling students in 5th-8th grade in our after school program. Our program helps students build the tools to succeed in school and in life. Don’t wait to sign up before spots are filled.

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9

Search for Significance

“Mental health struggles are on the rise as teenagers search to find their identity and self-worth.”

Following Robert S. McGee’s book, “The Search for Significance (SfS) Student Edition,” Breakthrough’s SfS groups invite middle and high school youth to learn about the four common stronghold beliefs that affect identity and self-worth – performance, approval, blame, and shame – and discover God’s corrective solution for each belief. There will be two SfS groups; one for ages 10-13 and one for ages 14-18. Contact us for more information.

Cost to be determined.

Grace Based Parenting

During this 7 week group, you will read Paul Tripp’s book titled Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles that can radically change your family. You will be reminded that what parenting looks like from a worldly view is many times not Gospel centered parenting. You will be encouraged in using specific strategies to fulfill your God-given role as parents to be a tool in the forming of a human soul.

Facilitator Krysta Winter is the Clinical Director of Breakthrough Christian Counseling and has been working with youth and families in counseling since 2012. She will provide practical take home strategies to continue to foster the growth in our children and address common parenting challenges. Previous parents who have attended the group say it was a fun experience to learn from Krysta and also get the opportunity to build relationships with other parents. They report the material from Paul Tripp’s book will be instrumental in their parenting.
