EMOTIONAL HEALTH
At Bluegrass, we value the gift of emotional health. God never promised life would be easy; but He did promise abundant life for those who know Him. We want to create an atmosphere in which God's peace and joy can permeate the hearts of our hurting brothers and sisters.
Be very careful about what you think. Your thoughts run your life. (Proverbs 4:23)
