Mental Health Grace Alliance was founded because it was an opportunity to change the statistics.

In 2011, the “Grace Alliance” was founded with the mission of providing evidence-based resources for individuals, marriages, and families facing mental health challenges through a grace-filled, Christ-centered approach.

We looked past the problem to see an opportunity …

1. Education & Training Deficit. The Church was (and currently) ill-equipped for mental health needs … a lack of knowledge and skills from seminary and ministry training programs.

2. High Information, Low Community Action. Many Christian mental health books were available, but national/International Christian mental health groups did not exist or were few and local.

3. Low Christian Accessibility & Recovery Growth Models. Community mental health support groups and programs lacked Christian understanding and resources. Christian-focused discussions were not encouraged within the community groups. In addition, some of these groups excelled in support, but many lacked growth-oriented principles and tools.

Why Grace Alliance offers one of the best mental health solutions for the Church and the Body of Christ.

Through Grace Alliance’s user-friendly, Christ-centered, and evidence-based approach, the model provides:

1. Supportive growth community: Congregants associated with mental health challenges found a Christ-centered, restorative community and growth support.

2. Supportive pastoral community: Church leaders began to learn, but didn’t have to be psychology experts, and/or try to individually pastor every individual, couple, and family. Congregants would find a community with an in-depth understanding and wisdom from lived experience, often with more insight than many pastoral leaders could offer. The community heals itself.

3. Supportive community outreach: Grace Groups are inviting, and the material naturally creates personal interest in Jesus and God. Through relationships, these groups often attract non-believers and other faith groups (some faith groups see mental health and other disabilities as a punishment, curse, etc.). In this regard, Grace Groups have worked well in other cultures/countries.

4. Supportive church model (no cost barriers for church + congregants): The simple community model and resource worked naturally within their Church model, with very little or no cost (no training or subscription fees; churches can print/bind Grace Alliance’s free group workbooks for participants as needed).

5. Supportive bridges with pros: The group model establishes “task-sharing” connections between congregants and mental health professionals, providing community support and growth opportunities. In addition, this model allows churches to collaborate with other churches with or without mental health resources.
