Just like with our physical health, we ALL have mental health that needs to be nourished and cared for. Some of us have mental illnesses, but those are illnesses, just like heart conditions or diabetes. As with these other diseases, they are a result of a fallen world and often need lifelong management. In either case, the church is made for community and should be a safe place to struggle. At Colorado Community Church, our mission is walk with you in your journey – through the challenges and victories – and help you embrace your innate value and identity in Christ.

Confronting & Overcoming anxiety workshop
Saturdays, Sep 30 & Oct 7 | 8:30am | Kids Auditorium
This workshop is for anyone age 19+ struggling with or experiencing anxiety in their everyday lives (not just those with a formal diagnosis) as well as caregivers and family members. Anxiety can include feeling panicked, fearful, worried, restless, or simply uneasy and many people today struggle with it daily. In this workshop we will explore the twelve areas of anxiety and their corresponding paths to peace, discover how Biblical accounts of dealing with anxiety correspond with psychological principles, and learn the five most common fears and how to overcome them. By the end of this 2-session workshop, you will have discovered more than 75 practical tools to reduce anxiety in your daily life.
The $20 cost of the workshop covers both cumulative sessions and the format will be split between large group teaching and table discussion. Attendance is required for both days.

Saturday, Oct 28 | 9:00am | Kids Auditorium
Soul Shop is an interactive, evidence-based suicide prevention training program designed specifically for congregations, ministry volunteers and community members. Grounded in scripture, the training enables churches to:
The end goal is that churches would become "suicide-safe", as the church should ultimately be the safest place for those struggling with suicidal thoughts. We offer two different trainings - one for leaders and church volunteers and one for individuals who wish to participate in the training.
- become comfortable with being suicide-safe in their interactions, language, sermons and programs
- learn to look for warning signs
- explore cultural and demographic factors
- utilize language to talk about suicide
- understand what to do when someone is suicidal
- identify who to approach that might be at risk
