LifeCare Ministry at Crossings Church

By Maria Veres

Many Oklahomans are struggling with mental-health issues right now. LifeCare Ministry at Crossings Community Church offers support and healing, not just for church members, but for the whole community.

A Place for Everyone

“We believe emotional health is essential for spiritual maturity,” says Rev. Ron Mahn, LPC, LMFT, Director of LifeCare Ministry. “We encourage people to become more emotionally healthy and healthier in relationships, all from a discipleship perspective.” The ministry offers a wide variety of programs, all overseen by licensed counselors. Free individual counseling is available for congregants who regularly attend Sunday services at Crossings. All other services are open to everyone.

Whether you’re grieving, reeling from divorce, working to manage your anger, or struggling with your addiction or someone else’s, LifeCare Ministry has a place for you. CareSeries groups meet on Monday nights. Celebrate Recovery, a Christian Twelve-Step program, meets on Thursday evenings. Crossings also sponsors ministries for married couples and engaged couples, as well as other special programs.

Growing with Edmond

LifeCare Ministry has served Edmond and OKC for more than twenty years. It began as a counseling ministry and has since blossomed into many groups meeting both virtually and in person. Future plans include weekend retreats for men and couples, as well as an expanded digital ministry that will give the community access to resources used in counseling.

The fall session of LifeCare Ministry is already under way, but many groups remain open to new members. “We want to walk with people in the love of Jesus and help them encounter God in a tangible way,” says Ron. “We’re excited about the opportunity to continue serving the community.”

Crossings is located at 14600 N. Portland in OKC, 1500 W. Covell Rd. in Edmond, and online at www.crossings.church.
