GriefShare

You Do Not Have to Walk Through Grief Alone

"Welcome to GriefShare at Third Baptist Church in Murfreesboro. Coming to this website is a big step.  I know, from personal experience that the loss, that led you here today, is not something that you thought about months or years ago. Just logging on was probably a challenge. But I am glad you chose to find us.  I firmly believe a few things about our grief. Coming together with others who are experiencing some of the same experiences as you is helpful.
Fellowshipping with others is important.  Seeing and learning what Scripture says to your situation, and understanding God’s love for you, is vital.  The work of grief is hard, but also important. We have a caring team to help you with that grief work, each having experienced their own loss and grief journey.  We look forward to meeting you and assisting you on your journey as well."

WHAT IS GRIEFSHARE?

A Christ-Centered Grief Support Ministry

GriefShare is a biblical support group designed to help individuals process grief and find encouragement alongside others who understand the challenges of loss.

Each gathering includes:

  • biblical teaching
  • practical guidance
  • group discussion
  • personal encouragement
  • support from others walking through grief

GriefShare provides a welcoming environment where people can share honestly, listen, learn, and receive encouragement at their own pace.

A Church That Cares

Walking Together Through Difficult Seasons

At Third Baptist Church, we believe the church should be a place of compassion, encouragement, and biblical care.

As Murfreesboro and Rutherford County continue to grow, we desire to faithfully care for individuals and families walking through grief and hardship by pointing them toward the hope and comfort found in Christ.
