Men of Integrity

Pornography and sexual temptation are battles that many men face. These often result in feelings of insecurity, isolation, shame, disgust, regret and endless cycles to quit. The hope for this battle is found through meeting with a band of brothers to support one another, know the enemy, strategize tools and be properly equipped. This 8-week group will provide accountability, support and practical applications for men to support one another in the battle against pornography and sexual temptation.

Rebuilding Hope Women’s Group

Many women are walking through private and sometimes even public pain after discovering their husband has been unfaithful. Unfaithfulness comes in the form of emotional and physical affairs as well as pornography. Women often endure this pain in isolation wondering if they are the only one. This group will help women to:

• Remember they are not alone
• Recognize and acknowledge their emotions
• Re-process their thoughts in healthy ways
• Restore their confidence and identity
• Rebuild their hope

Healthy Relationships

One of our greatest needs is relationships, and when they are unhealthy, our entire life is affected. Women face numerous challenges to healthy relationships. Yet, it is very possible in God’s design for women to live each day with healthy perspectives of themselves and others. Trying to do this alone is not how we were created. Cornerstone is offering a group for women to educate and equip them to live out the healthy relationships God desires for them. This group will equip women with:

• Healthy identity and value of self
• Healthy perspective on relationships
• Healthy boundaries
• Healthy understanding of the scope of intimacy
• Healthy relationship with God experienced personally and lived out in community
