Mental Health Fair: "Battle of the Mind"

2026 Mental Health Fair

Battle of the Mind

Understanding Mental Health, Identifying Coping Strategies & Recognizing Spiritual Warfare

Saturday, November 7, 2026 | 10:00 AM–2:00 PM

Join us for our 2026 Mental Health Fair, centered around the theme “Battle of the Mind.” This event is designed to create a safe, welcoming environment where individuals and families can learn more about mental health, recognize signs and symptoms, discover practical coping strategies, and explore the connection between mental health and spiritual warfare.

As a church, we believe caring for the whole person matters. Mental health can affect our thoughts, emotions, relationships, physical well-being, and spiritual lives. Through education, conversation, practical resources, and faith-based encouragement, we hope to help reduce stigma, increase awareness, and equip our community with tools and resources for everyday life.
