As a Church, we have been spending some time having some "Tough Conversations." Topics like Mental Health and Depression, Grief and Mourning, Porn Addiction and Abortion and more have been topics that the Church has seemingly avoided over the years. However, with one of our core values at Maugansville Church being Vulnerability, we recognized that these are topics that our people face and struggle with.

Please understand that we are by no means offering the answers to these difficult topics, but instead recognizing that Christians are not immune to these struggles and we need to walk alongside each other when we face them.

If you are struggling with one of the topics that we have discussed or others, please see this list of contacts and resources that we trust to help walk alongside you through this chapter.

At any time, please also feel free to contact one of our Pastors. We are here to walk with you!
