Heart 2 Heart is a ministry of San Antonio’s First Baptist Church and was founded on two simple principles:
We all experience brokenness sometime in our life; and
There is healing in God’s Word.

Divorce Care
Will anyone accept you after divorce? This group will. Take steps toward courage and wholeness with those who know how deeply divorce can cut.

Considering Forgiveness
Does forgiveness mean excusing harmful behavior? Is forgiveness necessary? Explore these difficult questions in a group that won't insult your dignity by minimizing or downplaying the hurt you have known.

Grief Share
Grief is a burden too heavy for anyone’s shoulders to bear alone. In this fellowship, you’ll find a group that stands by one another when the loss you’ve known bends you to the ground.

Men's Freedom Group
(meets year round on Tuesdays)
We are a Christ-centered, 12 step self-help group providing a safe and confidential setting (apart from other H2H groups) for men recovering from sexual addiction. Our goal is to provide you with the support of fellow recovery travelers with once weekly meetings year-round.

Journey to Restoration
This caring ministry creates a safe space for those who during childhood were abused, sexually, physically, emotionally, verbally or by neglect.

All groups are open to the community. You do not need to be a member of the church.

This grief support group uses a video series that features some of the nation’s foremost Christian experts on grief and recovery topics as seen from a biblical perspective. Weekly GriefShare meetings include watching the video lesson, followed by a group discussion on the material from the video.

Stephen Ministry is the one-to-one lay caring ministry that takes place in participating congregations. Stephen Ministry congregations equip and empower lay caregivers—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting.

Male and female Stephen Ministers are paired with male and female Care Receivers respectively. Confidentiality is key to the ministry. Stephen Ministers receive support through supervision, continuing education, and coaching on a monthly basis.

Stephen Ministry is open to the public; church membership is not required.

Grief Camps are a great resource to help normalize individual reactions to grief by allowing children to interact with peers who have suffered similar loss. Grief camps engage children in therapeutic activities that incorporate art, writing, music and movement to help process feelings of grief. Children who attend grief camps learn to develop healthy coping skills while restoring a sense of normalcy with peers and surviving family members. The Center currently offers two different camp experiences for children, Camp Heroes and Hermann Sons Life Camp.

Your child may benefit from our program if you notice they are experiencing one or more of the following:
• have trouble concentrating in class
• come to your office often to seek attention, but have difficulty explaining why
• withdraw from peers or social activities they once enjoyed
• express frequent somatic complaints (headache or stomach ache)
• have increased anger outbursts

Camp Heroes is ideal for any child:
• Ages 7-11 years
• Currently enrolled in an elementary school
• Have experienced the death of a family member within the last two years

Please keep in mind that camp priority is given to first time campers.
