At Rising Above, we strive to build community
At Rising Above, we strive to provide encouragement, support, inspiration, and community to families raising children with special needs. The last few years have opened up opportunities for us to connect and build community with new friends all over the world through online community groups.
Community groups are a time for moms, dads, or couples to connect via Zoom to engage in community. Our groups meet weekly for about an hour. We encourage everyone to grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and sit down to engage with one another in meaningful, gospel-centered conversation and build genuine community.
If you are interested in joining a group, scroll down, & read the description and times for each group below and click to sign up. You can sign up for these groups up any time.
What are community groups?
“There are so many groups out there that are “support groups” but really they just get together and complain. When I go to Rising Above Groups, I leave uplifted and energized. It refreshes me so much!”
