At various points in our lives, issues may arise or emotions may surface that require more help than your church staff can provide. To help point you in the right direction, we provide the following resources. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but we believe these trusted organizations, ministries and groups are a great place to start.

Connect For Virtual Coffee
Connect For Virtual Coffee offers an opportunity for two women or two men to meet virtually one-to-one to walk through life. As our culture shifts and loneliness becomes more pervasive, so does the need to connect within the Body of Christ.
Connect For Virtual Coffee connects older Coffee Hosts with younger Coffee Guests for the purpose of encouraging and nurturing a daily walk of faith. This opportunity is open to those committed to TVC as their home church.
GriefShare
Our GriefShare class brings connection to those dealing with the loss of a loved one. This twelve-week group listens to video interviews with experts, shares stories with one another during group discussions and, most importantly, focuses on drawing near to God as He guides each individual on their personal journey. If you are interested in joining our Spring 2021 group, email care@thevillagechapel.com.
With Hope In Mind: A Mental Illness Family Support Group
In January 2016, The Village Chapel launched With Hope In Mind, a faith-based mental illness family support group. Facilitated by TVCers, the group is open to the greater Nashville community, providing a safe place for family members and caregivers to share their experiences. With Hope In Mind is offered in association with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and its leaders have undergone extensive training in order to become NAMI community advocates.
It’s our prayer that God uses this resource to lessen the stigma of mental illness and provide support for those regularly impacted by this issue.
For more information, email care@thevillagechapel.com or visit NAMI.org.
With Hope In Mind normally meets on the fourth Sunday of each month from 3-4:30 pm at TVC East.
**Note that because of COVID-19, NAMI is currently meeting exclusively via Zoom.
